I can't wait for him to die.

Just gold plated but still cost over 200k. They gave him a gold medal too.

The trophy, crafted in collaboration with Tiffany & Co, features a central disc with three rotating outer rings. It has a 24-carat gold-plated finish and is thought to have cost around $230,000 to make. If FIFA lets Trump keep the orbital award for good, it is likely to end up in the National Archives.

LOL National Archives??? Please.

The Athletic was among several outlets to report that Infantino kept a medal aside for his friend, handing it to him after the trophy-lifting ceremony. It is unclear if the president kept the gold medallion, but his penchant for the color is well-known.

of course he kept it and that won't go into the archive either. In fact, he'll probably say he turned it down
