Trump was on hand to present the trophy, but he didn’t leave the stage right away. Instead, he stood among the players, clapping as they hoisted the trophy and began their celebration: Spain celebrates with the World Cup trophy... and Trump.

Infantino had slightly better luck on Sunday, eventually getting the president to move along and leave the stage so the players could celebrate and pose for pics with the trophy. Trump was booed lustily by fans in attendance on Sunday ― and jeered online as critics accused him of trying to make the trophy-hoisting moment all about himself: What a freak.
