    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

      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.

          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.
