President Donald Trump will attend the World Cup final and present the trophy to the winning team. Trump is yet to attend a World Cup match, but Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president, revealed that Trump is expected to be on stage at MetLife Stadium on July 19. Details: nyti.ms/4aMWdQM

💯MAGA is fascism. America is still mostly deeply under reacting. Depose the baby raper dictator. MAGA is destroying the democracy right before our eyes. 🤦‍♂️👎🗑️🤮 most Americans fucking hate this guy and have for decades.

Sorry to feel this way, but I pray for torrential rain. It will be the only thing that keeps him off that stage but unfortunately at the expense of the teams and the fans.

The asswipe will be in the photo when they have their moment lifting the cup. MoFo will ruin that moment for the winning team. FIFA better pull his ass off the stage!

It’s a global celebration, there is not one reason Donald Trump should be there. Also keep an eye on the trophy. (But many people are saying that the boos will be tremendous, the likes of which the world has never heard).

Clever. Like with the NBA they try to shield him with the anthem. Now this they will spin as taking away from the winners. That's why the arena should just point and laugh when he appears rather than boo. It's hard to spin being laughed at.

"FIFA protocol states that only the team will be part of the team trophy lift after being present[ed] with the Jules Rimet, but they will not stand in Trump’s way if he desires to hand the trophy to the winning captain, and remain there for the initial celebrations." What a jock-sniffer. 😒

With or without winning, I hope they at least make it to the finals, and bring those schoolgirl-size backpacks. And if Trump gives them the trophy, they can give him those backpacks in return. In the spirit of reciprocity, of course.

Of Trump is going to force himself into this joyful event that, by and large (not counting hooligan chants), has had nothing to do with him. I swear, he probably saw all the attention the WC is getting and got jealous

I don’t know what the mix of the crowd will be at the final game, but given Trump is pretty unpopular in most foreign countries, and New Jersey and the greater New York City metropolitan area, I assume his reception there will be comparable to what it was at the NBA finals.
