Holy shit, he refused to give back the original trophy, stole a medal and then ruined the celebration. These are the hallmarks of a fricking 4 year old at someone else’s birthday party!
Let‘s not beat around the bush he STOLE the Club world cup trophy.
It was given to him by that FIFA ghoul.
He should have given it to the winning team on his own but he’s too narcissistic.
They’re both*
The man is unfit for office.
honestly thought this was an onion article. wtf
I had to look three times.
Sure seems like FIFA is proving that Saudi buying out floors of Trump hotels makes a big difference. Open corruption being allowed was always going to result in someone turning it into a sport.
That and Infantino is pretty much the Swiss Trump.
He makes his predecessor Sepp Blatter (who was so corrupt that FIFA very publicly banned him from all football activities for 8 years, quietly reduced it by two years, and then added a further six years when they discovered even MORE corruption) look like Keanu Reeves!
I’d refuse a replica. . It should not have left the winners unless they themselves lend it out. So i’d even refuse the original if it wasn’t returned in three days or less.
Well the issue is they gave the actual trophy to Trump in March. It has been sitting in the Whitehouse since. Even if Trump lied about asking when they were coming to pick it up, the Whitehouse isn’t someplace you just leave an object for a little while. First I imagine the secret service would want to review the device wasn’t bugged being in the oval office… Second you can’t just drop by to pick something up from there easily. Scheduling all that shit would be more annoyance than just making 2 up front probably.
Note: Trump did remove historical artifacts sent by Israel from the White House and move them to Mar-A-Lago, so I don’t believe that this will end up in the National Archives like the article stated, it will end up as his property.

Come to think of it, I wouldn’t rule it out that it IS bugged and Trump forbade the USSS from checking like he did with the unsecure phone he insisted on using for tweeting through most of his first infestation of the place 😮💨
Stole their trophy and stole their valor for the win when he didn’t dismiss him self at their photo op.
Probably the only time he’s ever been part of a celebration
I’M THE SOCCER PRINCESS!!
Isn’t this the same guy who just makes up tournaments at his own golf courses that he always mysteriously “wins”?
God, what a dumbass.
I had to have a double take to check that TheDailyBeast hadn’t become a satire news outlet.
Anyone else saw how he had to be ushered to the back of the crowd during the trophy presentation? He really believed the cheers were for him.
Infantino and Trump are made to be BFFs. Not only is Infantino’s name on the trophy TWICE (which is almost three times too many), but he also insisted on THIS bullshit:
Corrupt and disgusting sports boss from Switzerland. I’ve heard that before.
Yeah, except this one is actually much WORSE than Blatter, as impossible as that may seem!
They also have Rene Fasel (former IIHF boss). He is Putin’s homeboy these days.
Is that really his name? Infantino? Like “infant,” but with the diminutive -ino, making it more like “little infant”?
At first I thought that was a new nickname for Trump.
That’s insulting to other people named Infantino. :)

Tbf though, they’ve already been insulted by having that name in the first place 🤷
Did he also comment that this isn’t real football and that football is played with the hand?
This is an onion article, right?
