Trump making Chelsea great again? Meeting US President was ‘Greatest Honour of Chelsea Players’ Lives’

Eric Trump claims Chelsea players meeting Donald Trump was the ‘greatest honour’ of their lives after Club World Cup win. Fans aren’t convinced. “Listen, he’s the commander-in-chief of the United States of America, and in terms of FIFA, the winning team invited him to the stage because they said it would be the greatest honour of their life if the President of the United States could present the Club World Cup trophy… There’s no-one who’s done more for sport than him…”

There are awkward moments in football, and then there are moments like this: Chelsea, fresh from winning the most glorious friendly tournament in football history – the FIFA Club World Cup – and lifting the trophy… with Donald Trump standing in the middle of it all.

While Trump basked under the spotlight of the match, FIFA’s Infantino stood on the sidelines. Chelsea’s squad remained hesitant, unsure as to how to celebrate this unexpected highlight.

Eric Trump is a man who never shies away from making headlines. In an interview on BBC, he claimed that Chelsea had been the one to come up with this whole idea.

Eric: “Listen, the Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America is him.” “In terms of FIFA the winning team asked him to come on stage because it was the greatest honor of their lives if the president of the United States presented the Club World Cup trophy.”

He continued, “By-the-way, I was there. I watched it. The place was a hive of activity. There’s no-one He’s been a great sport ambassador. You can also find out more about the following: “I think that in time, you will be rewarded. I really do.”

Eric’s account of the events did not quite match the mood within the stadium. When Trump took to the stage, the MetLife crowd appeared to let out a chorus of boos rather than cheers – a sound hard to confuse when heard in unison by tens of thousands.

More likely, Trump’s appearance was brokered by FIFA – or at least rubber-stamped by Infantino, who’s no stranger to political optics. It’s easy to imagine FIFA working with Washington, as the 2026 World Cup will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
