Let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">At that point, Sanchez takes a step forward with what Hickling describes as a &#8216;calming wave and direction&#8217;, saying: \u201cOn the count of three, come on, come on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">After the game, Palmer admitted in an interview that he was caught off guard by Trump&#8217;s actions during the celebration, saying: &#8220;I knew he was going to be there, but I didn&#8217;t know he was going be on the stand where we lift the trophy. So, I was a bit confused.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"floating-video-player_container__u4D9_\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The awkward moment during the trophy presentation reportedly wasn&#8217;t the only one to come out of the FIFA Club World Cup final, as the Guardian also <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2025\/jul\/13\/trump-club-world-cup-final-chelsea-psg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that the POTUS was booed by members of the crowd when he appeared on video boards during the match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">In his own analysis of the events, body language expert Darren Stanton expressed belief Trump was &#8216;disingenuous&#8217; during his appearance, saying: &#8220;He&#8217;s got such a fake smile, a masking smile, it&#8217;s almost like a dad at a wedding, he&#8217;s trying to show excitement, but he&#8217;s like a fish out of water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cTrump makes these kinds of fist gestures and jumps up and down.
