When you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the medal. You can do anything.
Look over there while I distract you from the fact that I’m a president that rapes children.
This was after he stole the trophy itself …
The US President reduced to petty theft, how befitting.
It’s not really the championship trophy if you didn’t earn it. Also when Chelsea eventually lose they’ll know how to take L with actual supertankers sportsmanship
Thief?
He’s a thief? Wow, the person who steals from a charity is a thief!!?!! Anyways you guys better watch him around top secret documents, you don’t want to steal any of them (and then store them in an unlocked toilet next to a fax machine so he can easily fax them to other hostile governments for money or just because he’s an imbecile).
Old people steal.
I’m all for dunking on him but it looks like he was given it, and I haven’t seen any other evidence suggesting the medal was intended to be given back: https://youtu.be/b5I2adhIn7U?t=174
Fake news isn’t less bad just because it’s “the good side” doing it
Pretty sure the ad guy for the Independent website posted this.
Retroactively gifting it doesn’t erase that he stole it
If you have credible evidence saying it was only gifted retroactively, please link it. The video evidence does not appear support that interpretation of events.
Fuck off, troll.
Yes it does learn human interaction.
The guy asks for it back, goes it the pocket and he shrugs it off.
That’s not giving it stupido
This doesn’t contradict the article. It explicitly says he was given the medal by Infantino in the subheader and the article body.
Yes, but the implication of “given the medal to look at” and “pocketing FIFA medal” is that Trump “stole” it or wasn’t supposed to keep it, which I haven’t seen supported by a credible source yet.
Historically. Do they give those medals to other country leaders or nonplayers.
Find that answer and the truth will be yours
Also nobody asking why the fuck he would be gifted a medal in the first place? Medals typically have meaning behind them. They represent achievement. What the fuck did Trump do to earn that medal, other than show up to the ceremony?
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, he’s been getting gifted medals from stupid fucking morons for doing fuck all for the past 10 goddamn years. Of course he would think that being handed a medal to look at is the same thing as being presented with one to keep.
He’s a thief, through and through.
Trump is a convicted felon, promoted beans at the resolute desk, received millions of dollars in inauguration fundraising from big tech, has his own cryptocurrency which he promoted by promising presidential access, and is being called a madman by economists for the least stable US economic policy since Bretton Woods.
Trump is not like “other country leaders”. Historically the above would be disqualifying for “other country leaders”. You can’t cover news about him like “other country leaders”. I almost can’t believe that you’re saying that you can.
This is the complete most idiotic, moronic and stupid argument ever presented in my like 20 years of being a dumbass arguing on the Internet.
Donald Trump is different so he didn’t steal the medal.
This is your argument.
No. He stole the fucking medal and the other guy understood all of what you’re saying, decided it isn’t worth it and moved on.
But he stole the medal.
Ask Cole Palmer what he thinks since this was a totally normal thing to do and not in anyway confusing.
Also I’m 100% calling bullshit and this gift was to save face. Chelsea players we’re pissed he was even there.
I hope all Americans are proud of the man they keep as their president.
I’m proud that felons rights are being supported, but disappointed in who is representing them
Every time I see him in public, all I can think of is how I’m so hoping to see his head explode from a sniper’s bullet. I don’t think that could be described as Pride.
who knew I could expand my blocklist with so many maga supporting shitbags just on this post alone!
Dementia. Not that he hasn’t always been like this, it just sometimes makes the true self harder to hide.
I don’t think so, Putin did a similar thing with a Superbowl ring years ago. It’s an alpha male thing, like his handshakes and all the other bullshit he does.
a true alpha male if I ever saw one.
Infantino is president of FIFA. FIFA is legendarily corrupt. Infantino defrauded FIFA and used money to buy himself shit. Infantino enjoys the corruption and attention from being at the top. That’s just how FIFA rolls.
Trump stole the medal and trophy from a guy who doesn’t give a shit. Infantino changed the rules to put his name on the trophy, that’s all he cares about. He’s cut from the same cloth as Trump.
Trump didn’t take anything from people who matter. The players weren’t screwed by Trump. FIFA screws the players and Trump stole bullshit from FIFA. Fuck them both for making the sport about themselves.
Trump is Smaug.
This is so fucking embarrassing.
And tacky as fuck.
And fake news
The article is not saying he’s “stealing” it, so no, it is not fake news. You seam to have poor cognitive abilities, I hope that your deficiency gets better! Sending my thoughts and prayers to you!
Nah, it’s legit, from multiple sources. Also, there’s video evidence. Fuck off maga asshat.
He also stole the trophy and crashed their celebration. What a class act…
yes…leadstories.com, where I get all my trustworthy news!
It was a “gift” because he demanded it and the FIFA head allowed it after the fact.
The players did not consent and was not aware he was going to steal it.
This is retconning/gaslighting the situation, something he’s known the world over for doing.
He’s fucking embarrassing. Stop simping for him. He doesn’t give two shits about you or anyone you care about.
This is retconning/gaslighting the situation, something he’s known the world over for doing.
I like how you didn’t know the word, so you used two wrong words that have the same sort of gist! Haha
Retconning is only for fiction. As for gaslighting, that would be pretty hard to prove…
“Misrepresenting” might be a better word there
We’re under siege by an actual fascist takeover, millions of people are being hurt, detained, starved, bombed, and killed; and you’re on here arguing about the colloquial use of retconning and claiming gaslighting is “hard to prove”? That’s the line in the sand you’re gonna draw?
Jesus Christ, we’re fucking doomed.
“Gaslighting” is commonly misunderstood/misused. Some people seem to use it as a synonym for “lying”, but that’s not at all what it is.
Isn’t lead stories a right wing propaganda site
Nah, lead stories is legit. They’re just fact checking a different claim than what’s made in the independent’s article
Would you like to enlighten us as to what this different claim is? For all us non-american and non-fifa fans this just looks like an argument between football hooligans and Americans
