Donald Trump hasn’t been a stranger to big time sporting events. The 47th President of the United States has been seen at countless nationally televised events, including a recent one that caught him sneaking something into his pocket.
“It Went In His Pocket” Donald Trump Seen Sneaking Expensive Item At Massive Sporting Event, Video Leaks And Goes Viral
Moments before presenting Chelsea with a replica trophy, U.S. President Donald Trump pocketed a FIFA Club World Cup winners medal:
The president was given the medal to look at by Gianni Infantino while handing others out to the winning squad at New Jersey’s Metlife Stadium Sunday. Though videos showed Trump later tucked the medal into his suit blazer when the FIFA CEO seemingly reached for it back.
Infantino appeared to shrug off the incident, flashing the thumbs up and allowing Trump to keep the medal.
Eagle-eyed social media users were quick to react to the clip, which went viral over the weekend and following the game, with one labeling the brazen act “The Art of the Steal.” “He didn’t play a minute,” complained another.
It comes after Trump himself revealed that the winner’s trophy that he had handed to Chelsea captain Rhys James had actually been a replica, and that FIFA officials had given him the real silverware.
Before the showpiece game, held at the 80,000-seat stadium in New Jersey, Trump told broadcaster DAZN that the real trophy currently sits in the Oval Office, after it was gifted to him by Infantino during a visit in March.

“They said, ‘Could you hold this trophy for a little while?’ We put it in the Oval Office,” Trump said. “And then I said, ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy?’ He says, ‘We’re never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office. We’re making a new one.’”
“And they actually made a new one. So that was quite exciting…It’s in the Oval right now,” he added.
