A seemingly confused President Donald Trump wandered into a photo of Spain's World Cup celebration on Sunday, catching some attendees off guard.
Trump accompanied FIFA President Gianni Infantino to present the World Cup trophy to Spain after the team defeated Argentina 1-0 on Sunday. After shaking hands with players from both sides and presenting the trophy, Infantino and other officials departed the stage. However, Trump wandered in front of the team toward the opposite end of the stage.
In the end, Infantino was seen running across the stage to accompany Trump.
It was not the first time that a seemingly confused Trump had wandered off during a photo opportunity. Trump also wandered off during a photo-op at the G7 Summit in France back in June. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also appeared to guide Trump during their meeting in Ankara on July 7.
