The 2026 World Cup final turned into a real farce when Donald Trump, contrary to all protocols, lingered on the podium during the presentation of the cup. The US president already had time to touch the trophy that the legendary Ronaldo brought to him at the stadium in New Jersey. After the championship trophy was presented to the Spanish captain, Rhodri, Trump did not leave the stage and remained standing next to the team, literally squeezing into the group photo of the "Red Fury". FIFA president Gianni Infantino tried several times to gently lead the president away, but he only moved to the other side of the podium. The Spanish players, including Rodri, looked on in disbelief and even asked Trump to make room for the ceremony. The fans greeted his appearance with deafening boos.
