Aside from his narcissism, avarice, and just being an ass,

could the reason be why TSF coveted the gold trophy meant for Chelsea was because he's a racist. Look at the team. In TSF's mind, they didn't deserve something precious. HE should have it, not them.

Non-sequitur: TSF took the gold trophy. By law does it belong to him personally b/c FIFA didn't fight for its return? Does that make the trophy abandoned property? If it's in the Oval Office, does the trophy belong to the United States or to TSF? If it belongs to either the U.S. or TSF, when TSF leaves (sooner than later), does the trophy return to FIFA or to Chelsea as it's been "borrowed" legally?

This is really f*cked up.

I doubt it is much more complicated than that. He has the impulse control of a toddler, so everything is “MINE!”

Especially co-opting the trophy, but also just
being in the picture.

I believe he was just being his everyday despicable, greedy, gifting, nacisist, self-serving SELF.

Ol Beézulbub is literally the embodiment of the WORST among us, I think. Not just because of what he's done. But because of what (imo) he's wholly capable of.

14 MILLION to die. 4.5 million will be children. Because he's cut off USAID. And incinerating what hasn't been sent yet.

But "gimme that trophy."

Speaks for itself, I think.

Without setting foot on a battlefield, Donald Trump said he received a Purple Heart medal on Tuesday at his rally in Ashburn, Virginia, from a retired lieutenant colonel and supporter.

“I said to him, ‘Is that like the real one, or is that a copy?” the Republican nominee said moments after taking the stage at a local high school.

Trump recounted the exchange, remarking that the man, who he identified as retired Lt. Col. Louis Dorfman said, “That’s my real Purple Heart. I have such confidence in you.”

“And I said, ‘Man, that’s like big stuff. I always wanted to get the Purple Heart,” Trump said. “This was much easier.”
