The president was given the medal to look at by Gianni Infantino while handing others out to the winning squad, though Trump later tucked it into his suit blazer

    Yes, but the implication of “given the medal to look at” and “pocketing FIFA medal” is that Trump “stole” it or wasn’t supposed to keep it, which I haven’t seen supported by a credible source yet.

    Edit: regarding your own edit (adding the second image), I found no information at the linked source supporting the sentence as presented.

      Historically. Do they give those medals to other country leaders or nonplayers.

      Find that answer and the truth will be yours

        Trump is a convicted felon, promoted beans at the resolute desk, received millions of dollars in inauguration fundraising from big tech, has his own cryptocurrency which he promoted by promising presidential access, and is being called a madman by economists for the least stable US economic policy since Bretton Woods.

        Trump is not like “other country leaders”. Historically the above would be disqualifying for “other country leaders”. You can’t cover news about him like “other country leaders”. I almost can’t believe that you’re saying that you can.
