Chelsea's Photo After Trump Gate-Crash Is Being Read As A Master Class In Subtle Shade

Donald Trump was accused of hijacking Chelsea’s lifting of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup trophy following their 3–0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in New York on Sunday.The president stood directly among the players as captain Reece James raised the (replica) trophy, prompting confusion from star player Cole Palmer, who later admitted he “was a bit confused” by Trump’s presence.On Monday, Chelsea marked the win with a celebratory team photo shared to social media.But in that image, Trump wasn’t front and center.President Donald Trump looks on as Chelsea's Reece James lifts the trophy after the Club World Cup final on Sunday.Instead, the photo, like the ones above and below, was taken after Trump had moved toward the back of the group of victorious players.Just like in a “Where’s Waldo?” puzzle, he could still be spotted, but tucked into the background.Trump remained on stage with Chelsea's players as they lifted the trophy.Rumours spread online that the club had edited him out of the shot, but they were false.Some fans, though, still interpreted the selection of that particular photo ― in which Trump had a decidedly lower profile ― as a subtle snub.“They could have chosen a picture where he was visible in the picture, but they chose not to. We can only applaud,” one person commented on Chelsea’s Instagram post.Another suggested the side chose “the picture where he’s the least prevalent and not trying to steal their spotlight.”On Reddit, meanwhile, a user said it “seems like they just nudged him out of the spotlight rather than a full Photoshop job, kinda fitting for someone who always tries to hog the center.”Chelsea did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment on the image choice.
