Comedy interlude:

Donald Trump has claimed that the Club World Cup trophy that has featured prominently in the Oval Office will stay there, and that Fifa made a copy of the trophy that was awarded to Chelsea after their win in the tournament’s final on Sunday.

Trump attended the final along with numerous members of his cabinet and Fifa’s president, Gianni Infantino. The pair of presidents jointly presented the trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James, with Trump staying front and center despite the apparent confusion of Chelsea players and the pleading of Infantino.

The pleading of Infantino is hilarious. Trump is the new Alfred E. Newman/Zelig, popping up to ruin everyone’s special moment.

Infantino unveiled the Club World Cup trophy for the first time in an event at the Oval Office in March, and the trophy has stayed there for all subsequent events in the historic space since.

“I said, When are you going to pick up the trophy? [They said] ‘We’re never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office. We’re making a new one,’” Trump said in an interview with official Club World Cup broadcaster Dazn on Sunday. “And they actually made a new one. So that was quite exciting, but it is in the Oval [Office] right now.”

That’s Trump for “They wanted it back but they’re not getting it.”

Planning for next year’s World Cup has faced a few hurdles presented by the second Trump administration, including travel bans on countries that would affect fans hoping to travel to the United States to see the games (though there are exceptions for athletes and staff), threats of Ice raids at games and long wait times for visas to get into the country.

Other than that we’re totally friendly and hospitable.
