Donald Trump wouldn’t leave Chelsea’s triumphant team photo and of all the A++ responses Ryanair said it best
Spare a thought for Chelsea football club, who triumphed in the inaugural Club World Cup in the US only for everyone to end up talking about Donald Trump instead.
Specifically, how Trump refused to leave the stage before the team raised the trophy in triumph, meaning the president ended up in all the team photos because he just has to be the centre of attention, right?
THEY DID IT! @ChelseaFC lift the FIFA Club World Cup!

It prompted no end of very funny and totally on-point responses, many of which touched on the obvious confusion of Chelsea’s double goal-scoring hero, Cole Palmer.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us. pic.twitter.com/JWkS5dcKCb

Fucking ridiculous assclown. Standing there clapping his tiny hands like a goddamn toddler. And nobody wants him there. Constant, overwhelming, global embarrassment. https://t.co/ARjukGG2W0

Nailed it.
And separate but very much related, this.
Trump would hate it if you shared this video of him being booed loudly as he took the stage for the Club World Cup trophy presentation. pic.twitter.com/qJyFC0KNIX
