Critics Rip ‘Narcissist’ Trump Over ‘Profoundly Embarrassing’ World Cup Trophy Moment

President Donald Trump is being accused on social media of trying to hijack Spain’s big moment as the team hoisted the World Cup trophy after their 1-0 victory over Argentina on Sunday. 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: Trump pulled a similar stunt at the FIFA Club World Cup championship last summer, standing with Chelsea as they hoisted the trophy: In the Chelsea image, FIFA President Gianni Infantino can be seen trying to get Trump’s attention from the side, but without much success. 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. Narcissist Trump refuses to leave the stage as Infantino repeatedly tries to get him off so Spain can celebrate. He won’t leave. They are trying to get him out of there but he won’t leave. https://t.co/Mdf2c4xhu6 Bro wants to be included so bad 😭😭 https://t.co/d6KnjwCgpM Trump on stage with the World Cup winners, no one wants him there, and they are trying to usher him off and he stands there like an idiot clapping.Truly such a loser. https://t.co/Q9CeA66TKS Infantino trying to get him out of the frame is hilarious.Trump literally always needs to make everything about himself https://t.co/Yl8HG4o4J2 One of these things is not like the other pic.twitter.com/3FonfehbfG Get his ass off the stage! https://t.co/n38RoH63DC Jesus this is embarrassing.
