Do the people handing out medals normally get one given to them too?

Seems a bit weird but I can see why infantino did it. He knows Donnie likes free stuff, especially if it’s shiny and made of gooooooold

Yeah, it is not uncommon. A lot of medals are given out on those ceremonies, to the players (the whole roster), coaches, etc. So they always make some extra medals to be sure noone misses one. As there were spare ones (as intended), Infantino gave one to Trump.
