Chelsea hero Cole Palmer was left bemused as Donald Trump bizarrely gatecrashed the Blues’ Club World Cup trophy lift.
The US President was in attendance as Chelsea secured a surprise 3-0 win against PSG, with Palmer scoring a brace while Joao Pedro was also on target.
Trump watched the game alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino and then took centre stage when the trophy was given to Chelsea.
It was anticipated that the 79-year-old would step aside after giving the trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James.
However, to the bewilderment of many Chelsea players, Trump remained on stage for the entire trophy lift.
Palmer looked especially confused by Trump’s actions and appeared to utter the words ‘What’s he doing?’.
