When Infantino introduced Trump to Club World Cup best player Palmer, Trump expressed his appreciation to Palmer: "I am Chelsea's number one fan and your super fan, I did a beautiful job!" Palmer, who was as proud as a word, only answered one "thank you".
According to convention, Trump should have left the game after he presented the trophy to Chelsea captain Rees James, but Infantino repeatedly signaled him unsuccessfully. The camera shows Trump insisting on standing between James and Sanchez. Palmer asked in confusion in the background: "What is he doing?" After the game, Palmer admitted: "I know Trump will come, but he didn't expect him to be on the podium. He was really a little confused."
At the award ceremony, when Palmer said "No, wait..." repeatedly, James turned to Trump and asked: "Can we win the cup?" Trump responded: "Oh, you can win the cup, it's great!"
Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez took the initiative to invite Trump: "Sir, do you want us to win the cup beside you?" After getting the agreement, Sanchez signaled James to hold the trophy high and start celebrating, and Trump stood at the forefront of the Chelsea team and took a photo.
