The story that Trump "kept" the original FIFA Club World Cup trophy for himself is not accurate—he did not take the real trophy from Chelsea or FIFA. 

What actually happened is that FIFA arranged for the trophy to be displayed at Trump Tower and later in the Oval Office as part of a promotional tour, and Trump claimed in interviews that FIFA President Gianni Infantino told him he could keep a version of the trophy, with a replica made for Chelsea. 

However, FIFA clarified that the trophy in Trump's possession is a replica, not the original, which is standard practice—winners receive a replica, and the original is retained by FIFA. 

So, while Trump made a show of having the trophy, there’s no evidence he "stole" the real one, and Chelsea still received a trophy as winners.
