His suitcoat back ALWAYS looks like this... what is roped around his back, that it would stick out so much? And doesn't he see it in the mirror and realize how stupid he looks? And then, his little bitty hands, body posture, and everything else about him in this pictures screams of a two year old wanting something and somebody saying "no"...

Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Trump Stealing a Club World Cup Player's Medal

The claim appeared in a July 16, 2025, post on X (archived here), whose caption read:

The footage is not AI-generated or digitally manipulated, but it has been edited to cut out an earlier moment in which Trump was given the medal by Infantino. As such, he demonstrably did not "steal" it, and the claim was false.

After the Club World Cup final on July 13, Trump took part in the medal ceremony (archived here), handing the players and coaches of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain their winners and runners-up medals, respectively.
