Replica. If that happened FIFA President Gianni Infantino must resign immediately

There is a reason Bibi went to see Trump when he did.

Did #45/47 dance to The Liquidator?

Audio/video

Who knows, he might decide to replace YMCA with the more appealing Liquidator.

What's that, their theme song? Not a big follower of footie so must've gone right under my nose. Harry J has to be a happy man looking down. From Staple Singers to Chelsea. Cool!

As to whether the dotard danced to it, probably not. Remember that Eddie Grant sued him and won re his campaign's use of Electric Avenue, so now him stayin' far from any West Indian music. big grin

You do know that the Staple Singers were sued by Harry J with the latter winning the case.

Yes, that's a Chelsea standard over the decades. They do have good taste.

Thanks, Missa Grine. I knew of the suit but wasn't sure about the outcome.

Don’t forget that the former US CONCACAF man had two apartments in said tower - one for the cats

FIFA President Gianni Infantino visited the White House, along with the trophy, in March.

“They said, ‘Could you hold this trophy for a little while?’ We put it in the Oval Office,” Trump said. “And then I said, ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy?’ He says, ‘We're never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office. We're making a new one.’”
