The presidential director’s cut leaves out a key moment.
President Donald Trump has shared footage of his hijacking of Spain’s World Cup victory celebrations—with a very strategic edit.by fans at the World Cup final in New Jersey.
His walk of shame across the MetLife Stadium saw the ambientSpain as they assembled on the winner’s podium. After presenting a trophy to Spanish captain Rodri, Trump stayed on the stage as the team celebrated their victory, and loitered next to the players. At one point, his friend, FIFA president Gianni Infantino, ran across the stage to move Trump out of the way as cameras attempted to capture the traditional money shot of the winning team celebrating.
It also removes the awkward footage of the president still standing on the side of the stage as confetti cannons exploded, and instead ends just before the cameras zoomed in on the winning team, instead of him. The official FIFA account also posted a picture of Spain’s trophy lift that cropped the president out.
The idea of removing Trump from the victory footage was floated in real time on Sunday when an Australian soccer commentator was heard on asaying, “They can edit him out of that,” as images of Trump still lingering next to the team aired globally. Trump wants Infantino, 56, to be elected as the next U.N. secretary-general. António Guterres, who has served as secretary-general since 2017, is stepping down later this year.
Trump believes that Infantino “is respected by everyone around the world, and recognizes he has a special ability to bring people together,” a source close to the president told the Post. The U.N. General Assembly will elect a new secretary-general this year when António Guterres, who has served as secretary-general since 2017, steps down.

Anyone who thinks otherwise clearly suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. ”
