Spain won the Fifa World Cup 2026, beating Argentina in a dramatic final, but US President Donald Trump stole headlines for the wrong reasons after he remained on stage as the Spanish team lifted the trophy, drawing sharp criticism from social media users worldwide.
\nDespite being met by resounding boos as he walked onto the pitch with Fifa President Gianni Infantino, Trump gained attention at the end of the tournament.
\nTrump co-presented the trophy to Spain alongside Infantino. He briefly lingered on stage as Infantino tried to lead him away while the Spanish team held the trophy aloft in celebration, prompting social media users\u2019 criticism.
\nThe 80-year-old US leader even did a quick version of his trademark \u201cTrump dance\u201d in front of the Spanish players.
\n\u201cDonald Trump did not want to let Spain celebrate their win without him,\u201d wrote a user, sharing a clip that shows Trump not walking off the stage.
\n\u201cIt happened again,\u201d a user penned on social media after the 80-year-old president came into the spotlight again.
\nNetizens also slammed him over what they described as a disrespectful act.
\nThe match is the first World Cup fixture that Trump has attended, in an unusual move for the US president, who relishes public events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
