This is all it says in the article:
“They [FIFA] said: ‘Could you hold this trophy for a little while?’ We put it in the Oval Office and then I said: ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy’, and [FIFA President Gianni Infantino] said: ‘We’re never going to pick it up, you can have it forever in the Oval Office,’” Trump explained in a mid-game chat with the broadcaster, DAZN.
Well there you go, Trump himself told us what happened. We can all go home.
That sounds highly probable. Especially the part where they said he can have it forever in the Oval Office. Case closed everyone!
But only in the oval office. Otherwise you can't hear... Uh, the crowd in your mind... Yeah.
That sounds like a bribe
