Holy shit, he refused to give back the original trophy, stole a medal and then ruined the celebration. These are the hallmarks of a fricking 4 year old at someone else's birthday party!

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.
