Trump Kept Gold Club World Cup Trophy for Himself So FIFA Had to Give the Winners a Replica

With Trump as the only source of that information, I'm not going to take that at face value.

It already basically IS the next Versailles. Versailles was built as a huge, ostentatious show of wealth and power over the aristocracy, so Louis XIV could show that he held all the power. By making all these fancy nobles drag their asses out to the middle of nowhere (at the time - the city effectively grew up to support the palace) and stay there for weeks or months at a time, often without proper accommodations (quite literally you would set up camp in the gardens or wherever you thought you could get away with it - if you stayed in the palace proper, you were quite high in status), you flexed serious power over them, especially when they felt they NEEDED to attend all these balls and galas and symposiums and concerts that were constantly happening there so you could stay in the King's favor.

Any of this sounding familiar?

Reminds me of him stealing this too

Given his adoration for Putin this explains alot.

Václav Klaus stealing a pen from the Chilean president.

I also saw a video where the players were complaining that he would not leave the stage so they could celebrate. It took some doing to push him to the back.

He’s not that clever. He just likes keeping shiny gold things.

it's all distractions from other distractions.

how is that bumbling fool get to exist doing endless cockups and somehow ending on top

If you are always doing things that need distractions and are distractions it's just one big lul amirite?
