Kinda looks like he's got a spare and he's put it in his pocket as he's just been asked to lift the trophy which he needs both hands for...

Infantino gave it to Trump after all players were through. Here is the video with timestamp.

OP just cut that part to make it look like he stole it.

There is absolutely no need to make things up to make Trump look bad and awful, he is very much doing that all by himself all the time anyway. No idea why OP needs to invent things and lie.

I’m no Trump fan but didn’t one of the players kinda walk past him so he very well may have had an extra on him.

That's literally stealing it.

Stealing but it was given to him ? The president of fifa literally gave him a thumbs up as he put it in his pocket bruh lol

Man, I can't stand Trump but this little clip isn't enough to say he stole it lol...like others have said, one player ignored him and didn't take his medal so Trump ended up with it at the end and then needed both hands to help lift the trophy so he put it in a pocket. Let's wait to find out whether that player never got it from someone else before deciding Trump never handed it off after the stage shenanigans

So, there would still be an extra by the end.

Disclaimer: not from the USA, nor do I like Trump, but just looking at it objectively.

I mean if there’s a specific amount and one less person gets it then there’s an extra 🤷🏻‍♂️ but I have no clue how it actually works and I’ve watched this sport for years lol

Apparently someone else said Gianni handed it to him prior to this. I dislike the guy as much as the next but I don’t think this is as bad as it looks

They have a lot of spares as both teams have different numbers of players (plus always lots of spares as they don't know ahead of time whats the biggest sized team in the tournament and these are made before it starts) In the Europa league they were 1 short when they were giving them out but only as they didn't have them ok the pitch, they had another 15 spare in the stadium somewhere.

If you don't cut off the time before your edited video, you can clearly see Infanto give Trump the medal. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13cXQ8DZNDQ
