trump was an asshole and refused to leave so Chelsea, just photoshopped trump out of their official trophy photo



At yesterday’s World Cup trophy presentation, Trump refused to get off the stage—they were literally pushing him to leave. Total embarrassment.

So the winning team, Chelsea, just photoshopped him out of their official trophy photo. 😂

I don’t know a thing about soccer, but Chelsea is my new favorite team

Somebody posted a Photoshop, anyway.

It's telling that none of the images of the celebrations on Chelsea's official web page include Trump at all, but I see no evidence that they "Photoshopped" him out of an "official trophy photo" (what's that, anyway?).

It could have been a player on the team or, as I said in my previous post, at least a fan of the team. My husband watched video showing he definitely wasn't going anywhere when the rest of the officials moved away for the team's winning photo. An official had to come and get him out of the frame.

ETA: It could have been an employee of the organization on their own. The edited photo made it to their website somehow.

Mon Jul 14, 2025, 08:33 PM

Football Club was involved in the Photoshop. But apparantly "Someone from Chelsea" doesn't mean someone from the Chelsea Football Club organization?

So you mean, like, a fan, or a player (WHAAAT?!?), or - what - somebody from the Chelsea neighborhood of London? What do you think "Chelsea" is?

Anyway, my original post stands. Nobody has yet to provide any evidence that the Chelsea Football Club ORGANIZATION Photoshopped anything, which is what the OP and the social media posts referenced in the OP are clearly stating. Here's why: It's not fucking true.

Once again, I didn't say it was the organization. Yes! It could have been a player, a front office employee or a fan. We may never know, but it was definitely photoshopped to remove him and made it on to the website.

Stand by your original post, I really don't care. Welcome to ignore.

And I damn well know what Chelsea is/means.

Mon Jul 14, 2025, 07:36 PM

There are apparently Trump blockers, but they block all trump related headlines, etc. I've contemplated trying them out, but that's not actually what I want. What I want is something that blocks images of him wherever they may appear -- in posts here, in articles, in substacks, on sez.us, on Facebook, anywhere I go across social media. I think my nervous system would thank me. Not every time, but way too often, seeing his disgusting image turns my stomach and triggers a stress response.

I've been unable to find such apps or plug ins, but maybe they are out there. If anyone is aware of such a thing, point me in the right direction. And if there is nothing that does this out there, If you know any savvy developers,suggest it. I think there is a mint to be made. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would pay money for the an effective trump image blocker.

I can't believe that asshole wouldn't leave the stage. The Chelsea team should have PULLED A MONTENEGRO MOVE on him!. If he's blocking the view of their players, just SHOVE him out of the way.

corrupted by money... but this definitely takes the cake, if true. I figure we'll soon be "invited out" of any and all world contests. No one wants to play with a sore loser... or a sorer winner. trump only hurts us all, and kills anything he touches. The world cup would do well to change it's name and or basis. trump has killed it forever in its present form.

I'll bet if we go back over all the 7 mountains, we'd see a similar type of thing happening, with the NAR now in control (overtly or covertly).

The fact Trump feels the need to inject himself into that scene tells me a lot about his psychology (mad and desperate for some good vibes).
