It was supposed to be Chelsea vs PSG.
But for a few surreal moments at the MetLife Stadium, it turned into Chelsea vs PSG featuring Donald Trump.
Yep, the former U.S. President was in the house, accompanied by Melania, FIFA boss Gianni Infantino, and a suite full of familiar names, but instead of applause and glory, Trump got hit with a chorus of boos. Twice. On camera.
Let’s break it down.
Trump’s Grand Entry And Immediate Boos
The 79-year-old made a high-profile entrance alongside the First Lady, walking into the stadium just as the U.S. national anthem played. At first? Cheers. But when the Jumbotron flashed Trump saluting mid-anthem? The mood flipped faster than a PSG counterattack.
Boos echoed through the arena. The camera crew, perhaps sensing the PR disaster unfolding in real-time, immediately cut away. Smooth move.

It didn’t end there.
Booed Again During Trophy Presentation
After Chelsea torched PSG 3-0 (Palmer, take a bow), Trump came down to the pitch for the trophy ceremony. And boom, another round of boos hit him like a bad VAR call.
Because while Chelsea were being crowned World Champions 2025, Trump was getting publicly heckled. Brutal timing.
Why Was Trump Booed at the Club World Cup Final?
Well, take your pick. This wasn’t just about football.
Trump’s appearance came amid a political firestorm in the U.S. His administration has been under intense scrutiny over the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files. Pam Bondi, also in attendance, has been caught in the crosshairs of those allegations, and accusations of cover-ups are swirling.
Add to that:
Controversy around Trump’s immigration policies
Mass deportation plans
Laura Loomer & Co. accusing Trump of shielding Bondi and Dan Bongino
Political rallies reigniting tensions as the 2024 campaign heats up
So, yeah… mix all that with a stadium full of fans from all over the world, and you’ve got a recipe for some seriously awkward crowd reactions.
A Familiar Feeling for Trump
This isn’t his first rodeo with boos.
He was booed at the 2019 World Series, again during a 2021 boxing match, and now, front row at the Club World Cup Final.
Guess the streak lives on.
Trump, Infantino, and… Tom Brady?
Trump didn’t come alone. He had a whole entourage:
Melania Trump, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Tom Brady (yes, that Tom Brady), and even Doja Cat and J Balvin made appearances on the entertainment card. It was a weird mix of politics, pop, and penalties.
The MetLife crowd was there for the football. But Trump had bigger plans. He’s said he wants the 2025 Club World Cup and next year’s 2026 FIFA World Cup to symbolize a “Golden Age of America” in his potential second term. He even set up a White House task force to ensure next year’s World Cup, co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, goes off without a hitch.
Next year’s final? Yep, it’ll be held in the same stadium, on the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.
But tonight? The spotlight belonged to Chelsea.
Palmer stunned PSG. Maresca outclassed Enrique. And Trump? Well, he got booed, twice, and went viral for all the wrong reasons.
