Donald Trump’s son, Barron, appeared relaxed in a backstage moment with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
In the photo, the 20-year-old could be seen sharing a laugh with Infantino during an exchange, while Trump stood next to them. Speaking of Barron’s presence at the World Cup final, an insider told The Daily Mail, “He loves sports just like any other guy. But his dad is the president, and although he doesn’t talk politics yet, you never know. His presence is larger than life. He has a bright future ahead of him, whatever he chooses to do.”
The rare moment featuring Barron immediately went viral after Trump’s awkward one while presenting the World Cup trophy to Spain. Trump and the FIFA President congratulated the winners and handed them the trophy. However, as the Spanish players began their celebrations, Trump could be seen standing beside the team, which became the subject of discussion on social media.
Prior to this, Trump was met with boos from the crowd in the stands when he arrived on the field for the World Cup trophy ceremony. He spoke to the BBC about the World Cup without mentioning the moment and said, “There has never been anything like it. I thought it was incredible. It was four times greater than any FIFA ever held.” According to AP News, Trump spoke at the FIFA reception and stated, “It turned out we were a soccer country, and I think it’s going to remain. This has really brought the world together.”
