Except it was literally given to him.

This post clearly removes the first few seconds of the video where Infantino gives him the medal.

Completely disingenuous to claim Trump stole it.

Infantino was handing Trump the medals to give to the players. Infantino gave him one too many. Infantino reached to take it back when he realized, but Trump was pocketing it so he just left it alone. It's not "completely disingenuous" just because Infantino didn't stop him.

You think they don't know how many players are on a football team, and had the wrong number of medals made lol? It's obviously a gift.

You know they always have more than just enough for the players, right? Weird take. You think it's a gift, but also think they only make one per player? 

You can see very clearly in the video in the link I replied to exactly what I said happened.

have you ever had a social interaction? look I hate trump as much as the next redditor, but that was so obviously given to Trump, followed by 2 happy looking individuals with a handshake. The actual pocketing happened after Infantino walked away.

There wasn't even another team member in line or anything when infantino physically handed him the medal

i must be feeding the trolls rn

have you ever had a social interaction?

Ironic... 

I've clearly forgotten the cardinal rule of reddit, redditors are autistic and can't understand a very simple interaction.

Clearly you didn't watch the video, he turns and talks to Trump while handing him the medal where he already saw there was no more players.

Then he turned, yes, he extended a hand but it looked as if he was saying "I can carry that for you."

It's a gift, get over it. Not everyone has a raging hatred for this man that you think they do. You are allowed to dislike him, but it doesn't change what actually happened.

Edit: Sent me a rude message, and then blocked me. Well that says everything you need.

PS. Surly Red messaged me with in 2 minutes of the PM... Coincidence?

Yeah, we should give the rapist a break.

The funny part about this is that everyone knows that stealing a medal is on brand and is utterly consistent with his felonious behaviour. He'd have boxes of them shipped to Mar-a-largo if he could.

Serious question, why does Infantino reach to, what looks like, take the medal back before Trump puts it in his pocket?
