Donald Trump is set to hand over the World Cup trophy to the winners at the final on 19 July, Gianni Infantino has said.

Infantino and Trump have forged a close relationship in the build-up to these finals, but the US president has barely talked about the tournament since it began on 11 June, and is yet to attend a match.
Maybe this World Cup will bring the best out of the US, not the worst

However, the Fifa president confirmed in an interview with Fox and Friends that the plan is for Trump to play a starring role in the trophy presentation ceremony at the New York New Jersey Stadium, just as he did at last year’s Club World Cup final at the same venue, then called by its usual name, the MetLife Stadium.

“We will be together with the president enjoying the final and handing the trophy to the winner, of course,” Infantino said.

He has to insert himself into everything in an effort to feed his lust for attention.

1. As the saying goes,

He is everywhere, just like horse shit.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

27. Horse shit is not unpleasant...

I think pig shit is more accurate.

[dweller]

2. No he won't

He will keep it for himself

😑


✌🏻

[3catwoman3]

3. Yuck! They'll probably have to pry it out of his hands.

Darer we hope for his cod, dead hands?

[twodogsbarking]

4. That's more than two weeks away. If I were Trump I wouldn't even buy green bananas.

[twodogsbarking]

5. Boooooooooooooo.! Wait for it.

[Ocelot II]

6. What a great honor.

[Grokenstein]

7. Talk about your moment of glory.

To have one of the worst humans in the world today come within arms' reach and hand you a huge blunt object...

[groundloop]

22. tRump will be thrilled if we're talking about anything except the tRump-Epstein Files.

So far he's been doing a bang up job at distracting from the tRump-Epstein Files. Everything else he's done has turned to shit, but the tRump-Epstein Files aren't in the news anymore.

[wcmagumba]

8. He's here, he's there, he's every f**king where, Donald Trump, Donald Trump...

[WestMichRad]

9. I'm hoping the captain of the winning team pulls the trophy away from him

... and his teammates shove the orange manure pile out of the way. Be sure to stand in front of him, guys, so he's not in your triumphant team photo!
I'm fine with them shoving Infantino out of the way, too.

[dave99]

19. Each steps on Infantino's head as they walk away

[The Madcap]

10. A great reason to lose.

It would be best if an adversarial nation won the whole thing if he is involved at all. Can you imagine him giving the trophy to Iran, for example? (As I don't know who is left, I'm just imagining the craziest scenario).

[TexasBushwhacker]

11. In NY? The boos should be deafening n/t

[wcmagumba]

12. This should be fun...

[GenThePerservering]

13. They're going to have to physically push him off the stage for their lift

he'll never leave on his own. Then he'll try to steal the trophy.

[Sequoia]

14. He will keep it for himself.

[Ritabert]

15. Will Infantino wake him up for the presentation?

[C Moon]

16. If that's the case, I hope it's Mexico.

[mopinko]

17. ok. now i rly hope the scots win.

they’ll prolly tell fifa to just mail it.

[dave99]

18. Wish ONE "reporter" asks shitstain: "When do you think you will die, next week ?"

but these "reporters" are not made of tough stuff anymore

[twodogsbarking]

20. Let's see who wins first, then see if he shows.

[The Grand Illuminist]

21. Then after that...

The winning team will, very publicly, throw the cup in the trash where it belongs until the next world cup whose nation is more closer to the greater good.

[mdbl]

23. Do they think Dump will let go of the trophy?

I can see him trying to keep them all for himself. Then he'll go on Idiot-Social and say he won the games himself.

[mwooldri]

24. Will he dare go into the stadium?

What if it's an England Vs Spain final?

Imagine half the stadium chanting "He's fat, he's got piles ... He's in the Epstein Files... Trump the c***"

Would DJT risk a crowd like that?

[pfitz59]

25. Meanwhile hamberders and cofeve

at the buffet.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

26. Welp, July 19 is a ways off...

Dare we hope we can celebrate the 4th with a funeral so this becomes a non-issue?

Need to research how much eye of newt and other goodies I need to stir into the cauldron. The suspense is killing me!

[dem4decades]

28. Getting the trophy away from Trump is going to be like getting the Orb

Away from Woody Allen in Sleeper.

[sakabatou]

29. Once again, he has to insert himself for some sort of glory

I'm sure he'll be booed if the presentation was public.

[usonian]

30. Infantino and Trump. I salute you in Italian.

[Mysterian]

31. Great....will turn into another embarrassment for the evil dotard

Teams will shun the stinking, filthy cretin.
