The president was given the medal to look at by Gianni Infantino while handing others out to the winning squad, though Trump later tucked it into his suit blazer

            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.

              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
