So the players blew him off, then a FIFA lackey ran across the stage to try to drag him out of frame, grabbed Fat Loser's arm & got shaken off.
Then he desperately gestured for Trump to leave & of course he wouldn't. I would pay someone $1000 to just once push this douchebag out of the way.

Senator Mitch McConnell’s handlers would like the American public to believe that he’s still physically and mentally fit to be in office,
but that no longer seems to be the case.
The longtime Kentucky Republican suddenly reappeared in Congress this week after an unexplained three-month absence,
apparently ready to vote on Senate proceedings.
But when tasked to do so during Wednesday’s Senate Agriculture Committee meeting on the Farm Bill,
McConnell hazily sided …

The 84-year-old senator appeared vacant and out of it right after the vote.

A few highlights from the Turkish-Persian section of a random carpet symbolism book I skimmed while stopped at a random library in New Jersey a couple days ago

Tree of life: one of the oldest and most universal symbols of mankind. It supports the sky, and provides a path from earth to heaven. In different cultures it is called by names such as haoma, asherak, yggdrasil, irminsu or asvattha. Thus, one often sees it in prayer rugs, as a reminder of the passage from this existence into a higher life.
Diamond or Lozenge: It has been conjectured that this omnipresent motif in Anatolian kilims is a male triangle attached to a female triangle, and thus signifies creation. There are doubtless many interpretations. A diamond surrounded by hooks is called in Turkish kirkbudatz, 'forty branches'. Among some semi-nomadic pastoral (terekme) tribes of Azerbaijan, a favourite symbol is a large diamond, signifying woman. Smaller diamonds within the large one signify a pregnant woman or her progeny. A …
Celestial creature: Recognizable because flames appear from flanks or shoulders.
Arabesque or Tendril: The basic unit of the arabesque, a favourite Islamic decorative theme, may be described as a split leaf seen in profile, called islimi in Persian. Derived from a Sassanian motif, it developed under the Abbasids in the ninth and tenth centuries, and matured under the Seljuks in the twelfth and thirteenth. It became central in Turkish and Persian carpet design only after the fifteenth century. In its fascinating fully developed form one sees interlaced lattice systems of sp…

A wildfire erupted in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley on Monday afternoon, with three to five acres burning near 1500 Alamo Pintado Road. Forward progress was stopped by 4:45 p.m., but the initial estimate was that the fire could reach 20 acres. Numerous structures were briefly threatened by the Alamo Fire, which appears to have started near the historic Buttonwood Farm & Vineyard.
