Look over there while I distract you from the fact that I'm a president that rapes children.

I like that he closed his eyes. It's the little kid logic of, "If I can't see you, you can't see me." Truly, a stable genius.

When you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the medal. You can do anything.

Stop letting him get away with this bullshit! It only emboldens him.

The president of the united states really steals? no dignity

Old people steal.

Infantino is president of FIFA. FIFA is legendarily corrupt. Infantino defrauded FIFA and used money to buy himself shit. Infantino enjoys the corruption and attention from being at the top. That's just how FIFA rolls.

At worst Trump stole the medal and trophy from a guy who doesn't give a shit. Infantino changed the rules to put his name on the trophy, that's all he cares about. He's cut from the same cloth as Trump.

At least Trump didn't take anything from people who matter. The players weren't screwed by Trump. FIFA screws the players and Trump stole bullshit from FIFA. Fuck them both for making the sport about themselves.

Trump is Smaug.

It's not really the championship trophy if you didn't earn it. Also when Chelsea eventually lose they'll know how to take L with actual supertankers sportsmanship
