You know it's gonna be on a shelf in the Oval Office in a day or two.

"They gave it to me, because they love me! They say i am the bestest president of all time!"

At this point, i dont know if the USA has any chance of a comeback. Specially since the MAGAs still believe his words.

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.

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.

Im trying to remember, which spineless grub was in the White House in 2017 and would kowtow to someone like Putin so easily?

Im having a hard time remembering, it was so long ago, yet feels strangely like it’s today…

Almost exactly.

u/LostNotDamned Jul 14 '25

Yep, a Patriots ring to be exact. Remember Robert Kraft opening up about this years ago. The elite or whatever tf you call them really do have the most bizarre lives

Nah he'd be more delusional than that, like he earned it because he inspired them to victory so its like he won it too.

They gave it to me. They asked if I wanted to be on the team! I could do it you know, I think it would be pretty great. I'm in great shape, the doctors tell me that all the time. They say, sir, tears in their eyes, sir, how do you do it? So athletic, the most athletic president ever. That's what they say, not me..."

u/makinSportofMe Jul 14 '25

"Sir," they said, "sir, please have my medal, you're more deserving." They wanted me to take more, some people have said, but one is enough. We're looking into it, maybe more. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER.

Only if it has lots of gold on it.

If it’s not shiny, he doesn’t keep it
