Trump booed at FIFA trophy presentation; video sparks online reactions

Trump and Infantino handed out medals to players and coaching staff from both finalists before the US President presented the iconic FIFA World Cup trophy to Spain captain Rodri.

Trump initially remained standing among the celebrating players. Moments later, officials gestured for him to move aside so that Spain’s players could take centre stage.

‘Complete embarrassment’

The video has since gone viral, amassing over two million views and a wave of reactions.

“Trump thinks the trophy is part of the executive orders at this point,” a user wrote.

“He’s a complete embarrassment. Just can’t pass up any opportunity to put himself in front of the cameras. Idiot,” added another.

“Dude, just stopped. Enjoy your moment and stop pretending like you were there to hear what they were saying,” another user commented.

“That’s the iconic moment you always see in sports history when the team lifts up the trophy and cannons shoot confetti up in the air. You can’t recapture that moment. Don is just there, absolutely clueless,” a third user reacted.

Spain secured their second FIFA World Cup title after Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in extra time, edging out Argentina in the finals.
