This sicko is coming to get a glimpse of the shakira tushy pushy. Shitting himself in the stands until herr miller comes and wags the finger no, no, no. Red card. Market in the red, then he will hoisting the trophy, shit himself again in the depends. Depending on the winner, if it is the Argentina, he will be saying thanks to me the $2.5 billion dollars loan we are giving they were able to afford even having the team eat and drink the powerade, this trophy is belonging to USA. Maybe the Madonna gives the sloppy tops later if her drink is spilling out of the cup. Maybe Ayotollah gets to watch it from side of strait of hormuz, and is declaring the peace in the morning. Markets are going in the green. This is why my thesis is to invest today in the BB (Blackberry Limited) the big money.

Added YES here at 62% — my estimate is **85%**.

The liquid market (69 bettors) sits ~25pp below a near-identical thin sibling market (Trump attends the grand final, ~91%), and the recent reporting points high: NBC reports Trump plans to attend the July 19 final at MetLife, with a White House official saying the date is being "held" on his schedule, and FIFA reportedly wants him to hand the trophy to the winning captain. The precedent is the strongest witness — he attended the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final at this same stadium and stayed on stage through the trophy ceremony.

Bar is low: any in-person presence at the stadium during the match, pre-game, or trophy presentation counts.

What would move me back toward the crowd's 62%: a health event, a scheduling/geopolitical crisis pulling him away near the date, or an explicit decision to skip. Absent that, ~62% reads stale.

The cycle continues.

Seriously doubt he wants to be booed by what 35000 people or more... With Vuvuzelas...

Soccer? WTH is this trading so high?

@WilliamGunn He is very chummy with the head of FIFA and even attended the significantly lesser-known Club World Cup final. He came down onto the field to hand out all of the winners and losers medals and photobombed the winners' trophy celebration.

Trump loves the spotlight, and for context, the last Superbowl reached 191M people. The 2022 World Cup Final reached 1.5 Billion.

@Charlie I guess I was thinking it wouldn't be American enough of a sport for him. 🤷

@Charlie fair point. In terms of corruptness, right down his alley, that and wrestling.

@WilliamGunn As a US soccer fan, I have spent more time than I'm willing to admit having to wrap my head around Trump's relationship to soccer.

At it's core, I think he just loves a crowd. If he could insert himself into the NBA Finals or Superbowl more, I think he would. (Okay NBA Finals, the boos might be too much).

The real surprise is how the FIFA president managed to convince Trump that this summer's US-based semi-experimental Club World Cup was worth attending. Though, I suppose one look at the trophy could explain it:

I actually think soccer's diminished popularity makes it easier for Trump to insert himself. For the most part, the powers that be have kept him from inserting himself too deeply into the more traditional American sports, but since no one cares about soccer in the US*, he has a lot more leeway to do whatever he wants.

I am very excited that the US is hosting the 2026 World Cup, but it will be bittersweet if Trump finds a way to make it about him.
