FIFA President tries to get Trump to leave the stage with him but Trump, after being heavily booed when he entered the stadium, just stays. Eventually the FIFA president gets him behind the players who were the focus of the moment.

What is funny is that on Chelsea's site, they cropped or cut Trump out of the pictures.
They were not there for the political moment.

I do not have complete information, so I cannot determine whether President Trump was confused.

However, different media outlets and political groups are likely to interpret the situation in varying ways.

Networks such as MSNBC and CNN will repeatedly show this footage and raise questions about the President's mental acuity or health. In contrast, Fox News will present this as a positive moment for President Trump, especially among younger Americans, and suggest that Democrats are losing support from youth voters.

Among the general public, some Democratic and liberal individuals will question the President's cognitive state, while conservative will defend him and call the critic “you are Trump hater, you are Trump hater, you are Trump hater”.

US lost to Mexico. The second place team doesn't keep the spotlight as long. Let them have their moment.
The National Anthem was heavily booed too...but they aren't booing America, just the man in the box seat.

I dunno- I dislike Trump as much as the next guy but isn't this just him wanting to make it about him more than is cognitive impairments?
Both maybe?

The video in the OP shows Trump along with the FIFA president presenting the trophy, then the FIFA president trying to get Trump to get over to the side at least. He eventually gets him to the back and then off the stage. It was more than awkward.

While presidents and leaders of other countries have participated in giving the trophy, they were all aware enough to get off to the side and off the stage because it is all about the winners of the event.


The crowd's reaction to Trump wasn't his only awkward moment of the match. When Chelsea was presented the FIFA trophy, Trump stood front and center — right in front of Cole Palmer, the team's star player who made two of the team's three goals in the game.​
Though Infantino encouraged Trump to step aside to let the team celebrate in the spotlight, the president stayed put....​
During the celebration, according to Time, Chelsea's captain Reece James appeared to ask Trump, "Are you going to leave?"​

It was simply awkward for the president to do that.

Some low hanging fruit is best left on the tree.

I don't think Trump was confused. He just likes the attention. That's why he wouldn't get off the stage. Just like , he had to have a parade on his Birthday. Every thing must be about him.

That was last weekend. This match was the European Club Championship. I'm not sure why it was held in New Jersey....perhaps as a promotion for the World Cup taking plance in N. America next year? (and a warm up for the American President I suppose)..

Trump kept FIFA Club World Cup trophy for himself - leaving champions Chelsea to lift a replica​


I don't believe Trump when he said that they would never pick it up and take it back. He has lied so much. But perhaps it is part of a plan to have Trump lighten up on how the US handles visas in 2026.

I’m sure that DHS scanned it for electronic listening devices, probably.
