Earlier today, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended the FIFA Club World Club final in New Jersey. Attendees in the Presidential Box included: Pam Bondi, Sean Duffy, Kristi Noem, Tom Brady, Rupert Murdoch and FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Video segments below:

I wonder where Baron is?
He’s got to be there.
Melania’s watching the game big time.
It is a remarkable achievement for President Trump to land BOTH the World Cup and the Olympics.
I very much look forward to following the World Cup next year and am grateful that the United States can serve as the host country.
Trump has joked that the only reason he’s getting this and other events like the 200 anniversary of our country is because his two terms weren’t sequential!
We all know why that was.
The people in foreign countries love President Trump too, only politicians don’t like him . . Uhm, I wonder why that is.
I meant 250, but fat fingers and phone.
Been there, done that, every day.
Pffft, on Olympics or World cup, I’ll watch neither.
But boy look at that First Lady.
We need to have a Mrs. World’s First Lady Contest.
It would not be a contest.
2026 is shaping up to be quite the year.
The Semiquincentennial of the United States, the World Cup and the Olympics.
Then there’s also the USMCA agreement that is up for review and renegotiation. Bound to be more we find out its on the schedule between now and December.
Summer Games take place in 2028.
“Fist” Lady? Freudian slip old son?
Melanie got her hand up on her heart quickly. No shots of her without (for a split second) it up and having Trump saluting.
She understands the optics and how it can be twisted.
As for Brandon being there. If he wanted to I’m sure he was with some friends and being watched over by the secret service… for what that is worth.
“As for Brandon being there.”
Brandon? He wouldn’t have known he was there even if he were there. 😆 Let’s go, Brandon!
😁
I meant Baron, fat fingers, phone and small screen. I should be more careful that the phone doesn’t ‘auto’ / idiot correct on me.
I absolutely agree about ‘Brandon’ not knowing where he was.
Barron.
It happens. Especially if I don’t spellcheck, lol.
Same here. Couldn’t resist poking at Weekend at Bernie Biden once the opportunity arose, though!
Baron, not Brandon.
Brandon is FJB, and glad he is nowhere in sight.
Judicial watch is using FOIA to request items from DOJ and Bondi and State department denying USAID-Gaza
I’m ashamed of myself… I first read that as FAFO President! 😉
Wonderful to see our President out there with the people, smiling, robust and happy. Exactly one year after that very dark day in Butler. And just two days after several of his two-faced “supporters” tried to put him in a pickle… but failed.
I thought that also.
Love that PJT stayed with the players while they celebrated with the trophy.
Melania is as beautiful as ever!
I never get tired of seeing and hearing our gracious First Lady!
I think Melania’s sunglasses are the weirdest things I’ve even seen. And there is that rude photographer just snapping away right in her face with his camera. Don’t know how she tolerates this rudeness.
I’d be wearing a football helmet with a full face visor.
Yeah, the “sunglasses” were a bad look.
Perhaps the reflection from the diamond on her left hand is a problem?!
Her Sunglasses are pure Euro Supermodel, they look great.
Love him or hate him, this is legendary.
After handing Chelsea the Club World Cup trophy, Trump was supposed to leave the podium. He didn’t.
Instead, he stayed up there celebrating with the players, just soaking in the win like one of the squad.
You can’t script this.
White Hats have their eyes on it!

Yup!
I have never seen a sitting President booed like that at a sporting event.
I’m laughing in disbelief that not a single commenter here pointed that out.
The boos were deafening.
You must have missed the entire Brandon administration…
Glad you’re here now; maybe you’ll take the chance to learn some things.
I think very highly of Melania, but sometimes I wonder why individuals need to make a statement by wearing glasses that are too big for their face. Just my opinion, but they look silly.
Neither the bald man next to Pres Trump, nor the long black-haired woman respected our national anthem.
Neither put their hand over their heart.
Italian.
That’s the FIFA president and his wife. They’re not American.
There’s been several etiquette changes over the years, and a lot of what people do is going to be based on what they were taught when they were kids. To complicate it, there’s also likely a lag between when an etiquette change was made and when it started being taught in schools. In the 70s and 80s, we were taught to stand with your hands at side for the anthem and hand over heart for the pledge even though the 1976 etiquette change was toward everyone putting their hand over their heart for both. If they’re not being overtly disrespectful, I think it’s ok to cut them some slack. Some info on the history of national anthem etiquette:
“When the U.S. national anthem was first recognized by law in 1931, there was no prescription as to behavior during its playing. On June 22, 1942, the law was revised indicating that those in uniform should salute during its playing, while others should simply stand at attention, men removing their hats. The same code also required that women should place their hands over their hearts when the flag is displayed during the playing of the national anthem, but not if the flag was not present. On December 23, 1942, the law was again revised instructing men and women to stand at attention and face in the direction of the music when it was played. That revision also directed men and women to place their hands over their hearts only if the flag was displayed. Those in uniform were required to salute. On July 7, 1976, the law was simplified. Men and women were instructed to stand with their hands over their hearts, men removing their hats, irrespective of whether or not the flag was displayed and those in uniform saluting. On August 12, 1998, the law was rewritten keeping the same instructions, but differentiating between “those in uniform” and “members of the Armed Forces and veterans” who were both instructed to salute during the playing whether or not the flag was displayed. Because of the changes in law over the years and confusion between instructions for the Pledge of Allegiance versus the National Anthem, throughout most of the 20th century many people simply stood at attention or with their hands folded in front of them during the playing of the Anthem, and when reciting the Pledge they would hold their hand (or hat) over their heart.”
Just love Melania being Melania.
Communication takes many forms, including the manner in which people carry themselves.
Some people just get it right regardless of the situation. And. AUTHENTICITY plays a big part in it.
There she is, relaxed, independent, by her man.
And showing a bit of leg. NICE.
…
Jackie O, or Melania?
Melania, every time. (Classy girl.)
