The president\u2019s behavior during the trophy lift also raised some eyebrows
\nDonald Trump finally made an appearance at the FIFA World Cup on Sunday, as he presented the World Cup and medals to winners Spain.
\nThe US president also greeted Lionel Messi and the rest of the Argentina team, as he placed the second place medals around their neck, alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
\nAfter the dramatic end to the game and post-match chaos, Trump walked onto the New York\/New Jersey Stadium pitch, as he prepared for his big moment.
\nCanadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, whose country also hosted the 2026 World Cup, also joined for the ceremony, but all eyes were on the POTUS, how the players interacted with him, and what he said.
\nAlthough we know Trump isn\u2019t one for a filter, it looked like he was on his best behavior last night, repeating one phrase to the players, a lip reader reveals.
\nNicola Hickling, of LipReader Ltd, on behalf of Covers.com, told the Mirror that Trump didn\u2019t have a customized message for each player, instead, repeating: \u201cYou are a champ,\u201d before adding: \u201cAmazing player.\u201d

\nHowever, Argentine centre-back Cristian Romero appeared to snub the president\u2019s handshake during the presentation, seemingly walking straight past him after he received his medal from Infantino.
\nDespite delivering a short message and not taking up too much of the players\u2019 time when placing the medals around the neck, Trump seemingly decided it was his time to shine when it was trophy time.
\nThe POTUS, who walked out onto the pitch with a number of boos, was seen holding the trophy with the FIFA president, as they presented it to Spain.
\nHowever, instead of letting the Spanish team have their moment with the trophy, which they won for the second time in the team\u2019s history, it seems Trump couldn\u2019t help but remain the center of attention.
\nThe 80-year-old stayed firmly on the stage, choosing to stand there and smile, instead of moving to the side and letting the players have their moment, like Infantino did.
\nHe also gave a thumbs up sign and was seen doing the famous dance with his arms with one of the Spanish players.
\nHowever, after being ushered away by Infantino, Trump finally let the winners enjoy their moment.
\n\u201cDonald Trump photobombing Spain\u2019s World Cup celebration is the single most predictable moment of 2026,\u201d one viral post on X read.
\nSomeone else joked: \u201cTrump consistently stays on stage whenever giving out football trophies. As if he won.\u201d<\/p>\n
