It clearly doesn’t make sense that the FIFA would spend a small fortune on creating a trophy, only to give the winner a replica. It is concerning to me that you still take Trump’s word at face value, no matter how obvious and self-serving the lie.
I have no doubt that FIFA bribes everyone, including Trump. It’s just in this particular instance that, if it was their intent to bribe Trump with a trophy, they would have created a second one with real gold instead of giving Chelsea a replica. It seems much more likely that Trump just stole it and FIFA didn’t raise a stink about it in order to preserve relations.

Do you have any idea how insanely corrupt and nonsensical FIFA is?
This is one of those “an unstoppable force meets an immovable object” sort of situations.

At the same time it’s usually a safe bet to give FIFA no benefit of the doubt whatsoever
