Trump Held On To Flashy Gold FIFA Trophy... Leaving Chelsea With A Replica

President Donald Trump scored quite the keepsake from his friends at FIFA.While talking to British sports streamer DAZN during the Club World Cup final on Sunday, the president revealed that he was given the tournament’s ornate 24-karat gold-plated trophy, leaving winners Chelsea with a replica instead.According to Trump, FIFA President Gianni Infantino asked him to take care of the triple-ringed Tiffany & Co.-crafted trophy when he visited the White House with members of Juventus Football Club last month.“Could you hold this trophy for a little while?” the gold-loving commander in chief remembered the FIFA boss asking him.As Trump recalled, “We put it in the Oval Office and then I said: ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy,’ and [Infantino] said: ‘We’re never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office.’”FIFA President Gianni Infantino and U.S. President Donald Trump carry the Club World Cup trophy after Sunday's finals between Chelsea FC and Paris Saint-Germain.So when Chelsea beat France’s Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to win the competition on Sunday, they apparently ended up being given a replica of the original trophy, which reportedly cost $230,000.“They actually made a new one but right now [the original] is in the Oval,” the president appeared to confirm.While FIFA’s top official seemed willing to go above and beyond to appease Trump, football fans were nowhere near as warm during his appearance at Sunday’s game.The president was repeatedly booed when spotted on the Jumbotron and while presenting trophies to the champions.Watch Trump tell his trophy story here.
