They photoshopped him out of the final picture.


If only...











By now you must have heard how Trump behaved after Chelsea beat Paris Saint Germain in the World Cup finals.

After presenting the winning team its trophy, Trump refused to leave the stage where the Chelsea team was ready to enjoy a well-earned victory celebration. Trump, ever the malignant narcissist, after being signaled by FIFA head, Gianni Infantino, to leave the stage to the winning team, instead stayed and inserted himself as part of the celebration with which he had nothing to do.

(It is customary for the head of state to present the winning team with the trophy AND THEN LEAVE the stage so that the winning team can enjoy the attention and limelight earned because of its amazing win.)

But this is America with a petty, jealous little man-child as its head.


But wait, there's more!


Later, we found out that Trump took the original trophy that the Chelsea team won and has it on display in the Oval Office. A replica of the original trophy will be given to the winning team.

Get that? Trump, who is not the president of the country which the winning team, Chelsea, is from, grabbed the original trophy for himself and his glory, and the winning team merely gets a copy!

(Even though the linked article reports that Infantino offered the trophy to Trump for him to keep in the Oval Office, a gracious POTUS would have declined the gesture and made sure it went home with the winning team. But Trump is the extreme opposite of "gracious," and Infantino knew what he was doing by brown-nozing Trump before the World Cup comes to the US next year.)

What a disgrace for the world to witness!

I cannot even imagine such gross narcissism or lack of grace. But it is the FOTUS. So, no surprise really.

The ONLY question is, just how low and disgusting will he go. My guess? There is likely no bottom to his depravity.

I'm sure that the team will get a White House invite. :)

With a MacDonald's luncheon of "hamberders," greasy French fries, fried in a blend of vegetable oils, including canola, corn, and soybean oil, and a thick shake made with reduced-fat vanilla soft serve, flavored syrup (like chocolate or strawberry), and whipped cream. The soft serve itself is made with milk, sugar, cream, and corn syrup, along with stabilizers like guar gum and carrageenan.

Yes. The original trophy that the Chelsea team won is now on display in Trump's garishly decorated Hussainian-gold Oval Office.

The original Club World Cup trophy is 24-carat gold-plated. It was crafted in collaboration with Tiffany & Co., and features a central disc with three rotating outer rings. It's estimated to have cost around $230,000 to make.

It is now in the in Trump's Oval Office, which is morphing into looking like an 18th century brothel in the Pigalle section of Paris.
