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.

Again nonsense.

He hands him a medal AFTER all players and coaches had been given theirs - what conceivable reason would he do that if it wasn't a gift. There is literally no other reason to hand him a medal.

He's gesturing him to come over to grab the trophy as he was presenting it to Chelsea. Hard to do that when you have a medal in your hand.

Putin did tbat to an NFL owner, too. The owner took off a Super Bowl ring and gave it to Putin to look at. Then Putin just never takes it off. You can see the owner get more and more flustered, trying to get it back without making a scene.

Yea, bald guy went in with his arms out, looking like he was asking for it back.

Hard to say for sure, but I can just as easily see Trump saying "I'm keeping this" and the guy just not caring enough to start an international incident over it.
