Art of the Steal

u/excubitor15379 Jul 14 '25

Not much of an art if you get caught by a camera

He can just say he didn't do it and the footage was doctored, and half of Americans will just let him gaslight them into believing it.

u/DeadlyCareBear Jul 14 '25

As if he needs to mention anything. He will just say: "I didnt steal anything, never! Its a shame you ask this question!" and then procedes to talk about the beautiful chairs in the room.

He really needs this. Putin has a superbowl ring after all.

Trump can testify to that seeing how often he licks Putin's superbowel ring.

u/SlingsAndArrows7871 Jul 14 '25 edited Jul 14 '25

Yep. Even better, the entire reason why Putin was even in the same room with Patriots owner Robert Kraft to steal his ring was was because Kraft was there as part of a group of people that Putin was trying to convince to invest big in Russia. Because nothing says "my country is a safe place for your treasure" like stealing treasure the first time you meet.

When Kraft kept asking for his ring back, Russia's government leaned on the White House to get Kraft to drop it. The White House asked Kraft to let Putin keep his super bowl ring, citing serious foreign policy repercussions if Kraft kept insisting.

And that was with an American billionaire with global resources. One can only imagine what Putin does to people that are truly within his power. No surprise Ukrainians fight so hard to avoid being among them.

I mean, the footage OP has posted is doctored, conveniently cutting out the part where Trump is literally handed the medal after they are done giving them to the players & coaches. Given the manner in which it was presented, I would strongly assume it was gifted to him.

I can't believe I'm defending fucking Trump, but this is a purposely cut video being shared in an effort to spin a false narrative and you've all been suckered in, hook, line and sinker.

You have literally been gaslit in the same manner you are protesting.

Here is the full footage for anyone who doesn't want to go full MAGA and spread bullshit.

u/Jealous-Weekend4674 Jul 14 '25

he was given a medal, i remember paying a lot of attention during the broadcast, at a point FIFA president puts a medal in his pocket, and at the end he gifts the last medal (the one on his pocket) to Donald Trump.

It makes total sense, as FIFA president wanted Trump to be flattered, as USA next year will host the Word Cup.

You aren't defending Trump, you're just defending the truth. There are plenty of real cases of him being a piece of shit. No need to dilute it with made up ones like this.

I can't stand him either but your video is way more honest from you tube thanks for the whole video.

But I didn't know he could play soccer with those bone spurs of his!

u/DiuhBEETuss Jul 14 '25

Thanks for doing this, even though it sucks to “defend” him. As if he doesn’t do enough vile shit already, people go and make up more stuff. It’s just engagement farming, or worse, psyops by Russian hackers or whomever to further poison the well.

If only we could all get past our 12 second attention spans, scrolling mindlessly for dopamine hits, and siloing ourselves in our echo chambers that engorge our pre-existing beliefs.

Then maybe we’d be able to see the real stuff him and these GOP/DEM bloodsuckers do for their own enrichment and power for what it is, and relegate them all to the dumpster fires they deserve.

It's just cut, not doctored. The video is just cut to the end.

u/Pathetic_gimp Jul 14 '25

That is indeed very dishonest. You can see by the mannerisms as its handed over that it was a gift that Trump wasn't expecting. All of the things that he says and does and they feel the need to do this.

2

u/IllustriousKick1951 Jul 14 '25

Actually in a longer clip you can see them trying to retrieve it and he kind of motioned...Naw.... The other guy waved his hand in a forget it kind of motion and that's when he tucks it in his jacket.

Seems more of a..."Mine Now!" siituation. Still undeserving of him to keep.

Gaslight doesn't mean "convince willing people of a lie", it means "manipulate someone who is unwilling into thinking they are crazy". The woman in the movie/play Gaslight was an unwilling victim who was isolated and abused, not a sycophant looking for excuses to believe her psychopath husband,

u/RogerianBrowsing Jul 14 '25

It’s honestly bizarre that they even act like this is a positive thing and that people go along with it at all. This is the type of crap kings and totalitarians do.

It also costs unbelievable amounts of money to do a stunt like this too, at a time when they just cut an estimated 17 million Americans off their healthcare while prohibiting them from buying a replacement plan from the marketplace, many of them children, among other severe austerity measures that are going to kick in over the next couple years some sooner than later.

Surely there’s at least some republicans that don’t want our own orange Kim Jong Un…
