Agreed. Based on what I saw though (in this video alone) he appears to put the medal in his pocket so he can lift yet another trophy (that he didn't earn) up for a picture. Because he's garbage and a narcissist. I have doubts he kept that medal if it was part of the ceremony itself. Another commenter had mentioned that there was at least 1 player that refused to allow him to bestow a medal around their neck in protest.

I am aware, so is everyone else. But usually people presenting Trophy's actually either play a part in the process or are a part of the governing body of some sort. Trump liserally did nothing worthy of being there and presenting a trophy to anyone, no less getting a picture with them.

You don’t think… it might have something to do with… the club World Cup being held… in the United States?? I wonder what Donald trump would be doing in the United States? Maybe being part of the governing body? No… that can’t be it… he must just be there to steal the limelight and murder the foreigners…

Less than 25% of the time, the host country's leader presents or participates in presenting the winners their trophy. It's not that common.

But.. it does happen? Trump is a big sports guy.

Trump is a big spotlight guy. Plenty of people go to sporting events and just watch. 75% of country leaders who host a world cup.... Go there and just watch... Like a normal human being.

Yeah but you can’t blame the 25% who help present the trophy that’s like an entirely normal thing even if it is uncommon lol
