However, while typically political figures would be expected to exit the stage at that point to give the team their moment to shine, Trump remained alongside the team with a beaming smile.Trump appeared to be gestured away from the stage initially by Infantino, before James, 25, was seen asking him, “Are you staying?”The Republican had also inadvertently blocked the view of Golden Ball winner Palmer, who had a confused look on his face as he was also seen asking James, “What’s he doing?”Speaking after the game, Palmer, 23, and James both admitted they were surprised about the turn of events. Palmer told the BBC: “I knew he was going to be here but I didn’t know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy so I was a bit confused, yeah.”Captain James added to Sky Sports: “Before they told me he (Trump) was going to present the trophy and then exit the stage.BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK“Then I thought he was going to exit the stage but he wanted to stay.”Following the game Trump revealed he had a good time, and joked he would even consider signing an executive order to change America’s naming of “soccer” to football for next summer’s World Cup.
