Trump's FIFA stage debacle just got worse -- from a Facebook link.

Looks like there was a lot of misunderstanding over everything that took place when that Award was handed on stage.

1) The FIFA officer tried several times to get Trump off the stage.

2) Trump's claim that he could keep the award was not correct

. As we've come to learn, Trump is a chronic liar.

I doubt there was a misunderstanding. Trump wanted the shiny gold thing, and nobody stood up to stop him. Midnight Writer Jul 16 #3

If that is anything but empty words, FIFA needs to pull next year’s World Cup from the U.S. Otherwise, it will definitely happen again.

Has no one ever dealt with a spoiled child before? They will push the limits over and over again until somebody stops them.

You have a president who doesn't remember anything of value and, probably because he makes things up and people are too embarrassed to correct him. But this video definitely shows push back.

He lies about important shit, but also meaningless shit.

He is all lies all the time -- and the republicons lap it up.

A political mastermind would be selective.
