And the 2026 FIFA World Cup… Does Not Go To Trump! 

It’s been quite the World Cup for FIFA’s Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum! Oh—and Kylian Mbappé. 

Notably, few have managed to cram so much corruption into a single sport as Tweedle-dee—who gave Tweedle-dum a fake Peace Prize in December; reversed a red card earlier this month at Tweedle-dum’s command; and brown-nosed Tweedle-dum every possible opportunity he could find—and Tweedle-dum, one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. Which is probably why the crowd went wild with jeers upon seeing the two disgrace Sunday’s final match between Spain and Argentina.

Yes, even those living under a rock will by now know Spain emerged victorious from its match with Argentina on Sunday in a stressful 1-0 game that stretched into extra time, making it the seventh country to win multiple World Cups (it won its first in 2010), and the first to win men’s and women’s championships back-to-back. This has been done with no thanks to Tweedle-d—er, Trump, of course, who’s mocked Spain as a “loser,” “hopeless,” and full of “bad people.” 

Trump was the first sitting U.S. president to attend a World Cup final on home soil, and sat in a glass box alongside Melania and Infantino, as well as Canada’s Mark Carney and Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum. Spectators—as well as players—seemed to not want him there, with at least one chorus of boos ringing across the stadium as he was featured on the big screens at the stadium during the national anthem. 

The match concluded with the big-toddler-in-chief presenting first- and second-place medals to the players, though he was ignored by Argentina defender Cristian Romero; awkwardly acknowledged by Spain right-winger Lamine Yamal—who looked incredibly uncomfortable having to shake hands with Trump; and begrudgingly shaken hands with by Spain striker Borja Iglesias, who’s been long critical of Trump but prefaced the match with saying he doesn’t “want to go to prison.” 

Brutal photo caption from The Guardian:

“Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.”

It was also clear that many—Infantino included—did not want a repeat of last year’s photobomb incident, or when Trump presented Chelsea with a FIFA Club World Cup trophy after its 3-0 win against Paris St. Germain, and did not leave for the final picture. In videos of the event, Chelsea Captain Reece James is seen asking Trump whether he plans to leave or stay—a moment that’s been immortalized on social media, as well as the cringiest echelons of soccer history. Still, the second-hand embarrassment everyone experienced last year might pale in comparison to Sunday’s game. 

After Trump and Infantino handed the World Cup to Spain Captain Rodrigo Cascante, Rodri clearly gestures for Trump to leave. Trump then stands around, and is seen trying to dance to “YMCA” before he’s shuttled off the stage by Infantino. He didn’t make it off the stage in time for the confetti to go off—but no matter. Spain’s edited him out of its celebratory photo anyways. Guess some FIFA trophies don’t fall into your lap.
