Trump seen pocketing FIFA medal before handing Chelsea replica championship trophy
This is so fucking embarrassing.
And tacky as fuck.
And fake news
Edit: explain why my fake news comment is -50 but the other fake news comment is +50
This picture sums up his presidency.
prescient
It does, but in this case it’s not true: https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2025/07/fact-check-trump-stole-winners-players-medal-club-world-cup.html
Look over there while I distract you from the fact that I'm a president that rapes children.
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 "your side" doing it
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.
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.
Edit: regarding your own edit (adding the second image), I found no information at the linked source supporting the sentence as presented.
Pretty sure the ad guy for the Independent website posted this.
When you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the medal. You can do anything.
I like that he closed his eyes. It's the little kid logic of, "If I can't see you, you can't see me." Truly, a stable genius.
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, speaking from experience, it just sometimes makes the true self harder to hide for better and for worse.
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.
Stop letting him get away with this bullshit! It only emboldens him.
You may have bitten the onion, my friend.

The president of the united states really steals? no dignity
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).
Need another source on this. Nowhere else is reporting this
It's fake. Kinda? He didn't steal a medal.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-trump-keep-the-fifa-trophy/
Apparently he did give a fake/new trophy and the FIFA gave him the real one/old one.
Yeah I mean it's not like FIFA has kissed up to a wealthy dictator in the past at all...
Old people steal.
I hope all Americans are proud of the man they keep as their president.
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.
I'm proud that felons rights are being supported, but disappointed in who is representing them
The US President reduced to petty theft, how befitting.
What do you mean "reduced"? Do you think he was ever more than a crook?
I was referring more to the position itself.
Although that's not much better is it?
Trump is Smaug.
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.
At worst 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.
At least 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.
This was after he stole the trophy itself ....
Thief?
Clearly, Trump is the president with the most sports trophys.
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
