Trump seen pocketing FIFA medal as he walks on stage to hand Chelsea replica club championship trophy - The president was given the medal to look at by Gianni Infantino while handing others out to the winning squad,

Chelsea have been praised for their subtle but hilariously brutal response to Donald Trump gatecrashing their trophy celebration at the Club World Cup on Sunday (13 July). The American President, 79, attended the final match with his wife Melania as they watched on from a private box at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Trump was right in the middle of the English side’s players as captain Reece James received the trophy and then lifted it above his head. Video appeared to show FIFA President Gianni Infantino gesturing for Trump to leave the players to it, but Trump stayed where he was.

While many U.S. conservatives have long disliked soccer, Trump has been known to embrace the sport. Right-wing media outlet the Washington Free Beacon published a “bombshell” report in 2016 that revealed the then-candidate for the Republican nomination for President had played soccer in high school.
