    I was joking with my friends wondering when he’d steal one of the gold medals. Either like when he stole the FIFA medal or like Putin stole the Superbowl ring.

      You mean when he stole/coerced the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize into giving it to him? The FIFA peace prize was designed specifically for him, so the fuckheads FIFA could ingratiate themselves to him. Same with that bullshit ‘clean coal hero’ award.

      But I get it, there are so many fake and stolen award shenanigans going on with him it’s difficult for anyone to keep track.

        Or the time he visited a wounded soldier, and hinted around until the guy actually offered his Purple Heart to him, and Trump actually took it, saying “I always wanted one of these!”

        Here’s the thing: Near the end of WW2, when America was preparing for an invasion of Japan, and anticipating horrifying casualties, they ordered millions of Purple Heart Medals. But the invasion never happened, and every Purple Heart handed out since, has come from that inventory, and they aren’t even close to denying it. They’ve never had to make another one.

        So if Trump wanted a Purple Heart so badly, all he’d have to do is make a call to Hegseth, and a Marine in dress blues would be hand delivering it within 30 minutes. But No, he had to take one from some young soldier, after haranguing him into submission.

        What a Putz.

        She’s fasc-adjacent at best, a long-time Trump toady, and so she almost certainly did it without coercion.

        I think they were talking about the 2025 FIFA World Cup. not sure how much you can trust The White House or Trump, but dude claims they kept the ‘original’ FIFA 2025 World Cup Trophy lol and you’re right it’s very difficult to keep track at this point.
