This may be a distraction, so just remember: Trump wants us to forget about the Epstein files, which had just been on Pam Bondi's desk.

The pocketing is probably just old crazy grandpa shit. But the “grandpa didn’t do anything wrong” reaction from the right is 100% intentional. They claim everything Trump does is correct, and if normal people talk about something shitty or stupid Trump did, that’s an opportunity to claim the liberal media is out to get Trump.

That all being said, this is too small to distract from the Epstein thing. Large parts of his base of have been obsessed about that for years.

I forgot about them.

Please, put them back in the memory hole.

You wrote that knowing precisely what people would do with that “hole.”

What kind of a pathetic loser even wants a trophy and medal from something they had no involvement in? It’s like when Homer stole Flanders diploma and sharpies out Ned’s name and put in his own

First time?

Trump is exactly the type of spoiled brat they invented participation trophies for

[–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I love that he goes to get the medal back from him, see's him pocketing it, and just makes a face and a derisive thumbs up. Like, "yep, guess I should have expected that".

Except cutting out the effort of even participating.

Lol, I would be hilarious if that was written on history books as the point of no return from unpopularity.

I mean I hate Trump as much as anyone but this just feels like he put it in his pocket so he could do whatever it is they were doing next.

Ah thanks for the clarification, also... what a cunt...

[–] swemg@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah sorry for the lonely link. I was agreeing with you at first too

[–] UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

That's all good, I should've done my due diligence and searched it before I commented.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Not for nothing but that article seems to indicate that he didn't steal it so much as FIFA just gave it to him. So as always FIFA fucking sucks. Why not give him the replica is what I don't understand.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 week ago

I'm so tired of spineless cowards who won't call him out on his shit.

God that "thumbs up" and just letting him pocket the medal is so fucking pathetic.
