I cant think of anything more fitting than a FIFA gold trophy for trump. FIFA is the gold standard for massive corruption.
Maybe the IOC should send a gold medal too.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why? It has literally nothing to do with politics. Its a trophy from a sport that he doesn't watch, has never played, and won't support in the future. The MLS is the most "woke" of the major sports leagues in the United States, so it's in theory the antithesis of Trump's agenda. They regularly engage in pride initiatives and imagery, plus encourage globalism at the venues and through broadcasts. Not to mention that this tournament doesn't/didn't really draw the full effort from clubs. Teams regularly didn't play their regular season starting XI and players didn't display max effort either. Most of them just finished a 32+ week season and played around 40 matches. There's already labor disputes about the density and duration of the football schedule in Europe and the injuries associated with playing as much as they do. At best, I would guess that players put about 70% of their max effort into these matches considering the issue of heat too.
Because it’s shiny, gold, and he wants it, precious. /s
Why the /s? This is 100% factual.
Because sardonic and sarcastic both start with the letter s, and Lemmy hasn’t pioneered a different shorthand for the former yet.
I don't think you would really want it back after that piece of human shit touches it.
I have been having genuine fantasies about a massive bomb going off right there and then on live television every time I hear that fucking cockroach squeal.
It's become like, I can't help it. I see it, hear it, smell the flesh and gunpowder, like KABLAAAAAAM.
It's what keeps me alive- hope. Pure, sheer hope.
He's gonna shit up the place with tacky gold shit isn't he?
s/gonna/continue to/
How in hell can he even think that's a valid way to go? I mean one look at him and you know he's never run two steps in his life.
When you're famous they let you do it. You can steal trophies and medals! Mario steals gold coins, I rest my case.
"When you're a star, you can do whatever you want. Grab 'em by the trophy!"
He also stole a shitload of art from the ambassador's office in France in his first term. You'll also recall that he wants (dunno if he got) the Declaration of Independence moved into the office as well.
He is such a fucking twat. Guaranteed he's never even watched a full game in his life.
I am setting up a fund to throw a MASSIVE party the day this fucking toad finally croaks. I will be blazing music for DAYS and shooting fireworks like it's 1789, NOBODY ON THE BLOCK WILL BE SOBER OR RECOVER FOR A WEEK STRAIGHT
Ever hear the Putin Superbowl ring story?
