Trump Kept Gold Club World Cup Trophy for Himself So FIFA Had to Give the Winners a Replica

This person thinks the FIFA organization operates a video game development studio.

The Fédération Internationale de Football Association, more commonly known by its acronym FIFA, is the international self-regulatory governing body of association football, beach soccer, and futsal.

FIFA is a defunct football simulation video game franchise developed by EA Vancouver and EA Romania and published by EA Sports.

It already basically IS the next Versailles. Versailles was built as a huge, ostentatious show of wealth and power over the aristocracy, so Louis XIV could show that he held all the power. By making all these fancy nobles drag their asses out to the middle of nowhere (at the time - the city effectively grew up to support the palace) and stay there for weeks or months at a time, often without proper accommodations (quite literally you would set up camp in the gardens or wherever you thought you could get away with it - if you stayed in the palace proper, you were quite high in status), you flexed serious power over them, especially when they felt they NEEDED to attend all these balls and galas and symposiums and concerts that were constantly happening there so you could stay in the King's favor.

Any of this sounding familiar?

He’s not that clever. He just likes keeping shiny gold things.

it's all distractions from other distractions.

how is that bumbling fool get to exist doing endless cockups and somehow ending on top

If you are always doing things that need distractions and are distractions it's just one big lul amirite?

I have no doubt that FIFA bribes everyone, including Trump. It's just in this particular instance that, if it was their intent to bribe Trump with a trophy, they would have created a second one with real gold instead of giving Chelsea a replica. It seems much more likely that Trump just stole it and FIFA didn't raise a stink about it in order to preserve relations.

This is one of those "an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" sort of situations.

At the same time it's usually a safe bet to give FIFA no benefit of the doubt whatsoever

Do you have any idea how insanely corrupt and nonsensical FIFA is?

With Trump as the only source of that information, I'm not going to take that at face value.

It clearly doesn't make sense that the FIFA would spend a small fortune on creating a trophy, only to give the winner a replica. It is concerning to me that you still take Trump's word at face value, no matter how obvious and self-serving the lie.

"Oh well, then there is no pleashing you."

"Cigar and a waffle?"

"bong and a blintz?”

"A pipe and a crépe?"

"Shmoke and a pancake?"

I also saw a video where the players were complaining that he would not leave the stage so they could celebrate. It took some doing to push him to the back.

just like putin and trump

Reminds me of him stealing this too

Given his adoration for Putin this explains alot.

Václav Klaus stealing a pen from the Chilean president.

I was thinking exactly the same thing

This reminds me of the time Putin stole a Super Bowl ring. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/heres-how-vladimir-putin-stole-a-super-bowl-ring-from-the-patriots-robert-kraft/

If you read it he didn't steal it, apparently FIFA gave it to him for a bribe and the FIFA president shafted the players with a replica

With how corrupt the FIFA organization is, I could see them doing this

He's the biggest baby in history. Someone else getting anything makes him angry, so he steals it. He's the ultimate child who blows out someone else's birthday candles.

His cult worships a petulant child and it's all projection.

Wait. This is not the onion?

Complete. Fucking. Embarrassment.

The uber (edit: eldritch?) baby boomer steals his literal participation trophy, to make everything all about him, while angrily rejecting all criticism and calls for accountability for his many crimes.

He really is the perfect boomer.

Mar-a-lago is on track to become the next Versailles. When he hoards enough, the people will go in and reclaim it.

Stole himself a participation trophy

A real class act.

Is this another thing he did to distract from the Epstein files?
