FIFA President Gianni Infantino was caught scrambling across the stage just before Spain’s World Cup trophy lift moment after President Donald Trump lingered in the spotlight after presenting the champions with the award. Video from the post-match ceremony showed Trump and Infantino presenting the World Cup trophy to Spain captain Rodri following Spain’s 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. As Spain’s players gathered for the traditional trophy celebration, Infantino stepped away from the group while gesturing for Trump to follow. Instead, Trump remained alongside the players: It happened again!

Duarte (@michaeljduarte) July 19, 2026 Infantino then hurried back toward Trump in an apparent effort to steer him away from the center of the celebrations, his hand gestures indicating he was prompting the president to step to his left and away from the team. Trump, however, stayed on stage applauding as Spain lifted the trophy beside him, remaining in frame for several of the team’s victory photos. The viral scene echoed last year’s FIFA Club World Cup presentation, when Trump also remained on stage during Chelsea Football Club’s trophy celebration after presenting the winners with their medals.

(Screengrab via SBS) An Australian TV commentator was caught on a hot mic commenting that producers “can edit him out of that” as President Donald Trump lingered onstage during Spain’s World Cup trophy celebration on Sunday. Trump attended Spain’s 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey before joining FIFA President Gianni Infantino on the pitch for the post-match medal ceremony. After presenting medals to both teams, Trump remained on the podium as Spain’s players gathered to celebrate with the World Cup trophy, standing between the squad and a bank of photographers during the moment typically reserved for the winning team. Infantino appeared to encourage the president to step aside before the trophy presentation, but Trump stayed close to the Spain squad as confetti fell and the team celebrated its victory. During the live broadcast, SBS host Claudio Fabiano was heard quipping: “They can edit him out of that.” Australian broadcaster on hot mic after Trump crashes Spain’s World Cup trophy presentation: “They’re gonna edit him out of that” pic.twitter.com/s2vIIw3cgE — MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) July 19, 2026 Earlier in the ceremony, Argentina defender Cristian Romero refused to shake hands with Trump while collecting his runner-up medal. The appearance came against the backdrop of strained political relations between the White House and Spain’s government. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party, has been one of Trump’s most outspoken critics in Europe. At a NATO summit in Turkey earlier this month, Trump dismissed the country in blunt terms, saying: “I don’t want anything to do with Spain.” “They’re hopeless. Bad people,” he added. Spain’s victory capped its tournament campaign after the team clinched a win against Argentina in the final when Ferran Torres scored the only goal in extra time to finish 1-0. The champions dominated the final from start to finish, taking all 20 shots, completing roughly 400 more passes and pinning the opposition deep inside their own half for most of the game, before Argentine Enzo Fernandez’s red card reduced the defending champions to 10 men.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) President Donald Trump ordered federal officials to review the conduct of the National Academy of Sciences, accusing the organization of providing “fraudulent, biased, and misleading” climate guidance that he claimed influenced major court decisions and cost the U.S. billions. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump said the academy’s scientific manuals, produced for the federal judiciary, had been used by judges presiding over significant climate-related litigation despite being “totally DISCREDITED.” (Screengrab via Truth Social) He directed federal suspension and debarment officials to examine the organization’s conduct, while arguing taxpayers should no longer fund what he described as “Climate Fraud.” “The National Academy of Sciences has historically published analytical Scientific Manuals expressly for our Federal Judiciary,” Trump wrote. He went on to allege that the institution had been politically driven, writing: “Of course, the Academy has been run by Radical Left Dumocrats who, it turns out, published fraudulent, biased, and misleading Manuals on Climate Change.” Trump further claimed the materials had shaped major legal rulings across the country. “These bogus Manuals were used by Judges to decide massive ‘Climate Change’ Cases, and have created huge losses across our Country,” he wrote. “Our Nation’s Federal Judges deserve Facts and Science, not Political Fraud and False Science on Climate. With this truth, I hereby order Federal Suspension and Debarment Officials to review this conduct.” The directive follows a dispute earlier this year over the Federal Judicial Center’s Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, a publication developed jointly with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to help federal judges assess scientific evidence presented in court. The manual’s fourth edition, released in December, included a new chapter on climate science designed to assist judges evaluating expert testimony and documentary evidence in climate-related cases. That chapter was later withdrawn after a group of Republican attorneys general argued it was biased against fossil fuel companies. Trump’s announcement came after he criticized Canada’s government, blaming its wildfire management for smoke pollution drifting into the United States. The country is grappling with around 850 wildfires, according to Fox News. Speaking after attending the FIFA World Cup final on Sunday, Trump said he had pressed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney over the issue: “You’ve got to stop these fires from coming in and poisoning our air.” He suggested that Canada should pay “damages” to the United States.The post ‘Totally DISCREDITED!’ Trump Orders Probe of National… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - FEMA Prepares to Dispense NGWS Alerting Grants
Applications are open for the next round of grants for the Next Generation Warning System. Congress funded $48 million for fiscal 2026. But the money is for the use of states, territories and tribal nations, not broadcast stations, a change that took effect last year. From 2022 to 2025, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting handled distribution of NGWS funds. It would disburse the money to broadcasters, often in rural areas, to improve emergency alerting capabilities, which sometimes included transmission infrastructure. But last year, as we reported, FEMA changed the rules after a “critical evaluation” of grant programs and recipients to “root out waste, fraud and abuse and deliver accountability for the American taxpayer.” CPB subsequently was shuttered as the Trump administration convinced Congress to discontinue funding for public media. IPAWS said these grants are intended to support efforts to modernize alerting systems and ensure that communities receive emergency information. It said projects “should address capability gaps and leverage innovative technologies to improve the delivery of timely public alerts and warnings.” According to an FAQ, “State, territorial and tribal governments are responsible for assessing the needs of their communities and identifying capability gaps and solutions to improve timely warning and emergency information to the public and to protect critical infrastructure.” The recipients of last year’s grants were agencies in eight states and territories, plus five tribal nations. That list is at the bottom of this FEMA page. FEMA expects to make five to 10 more awards this year, ranging from $2 million to $10 million, according to its FAQ page. It also published a list of sample projects that might qualify; see page 3 of the FAQ. The examples include such things as the installation of IPAWS-compatible sirens and/or “giant-voice systems”; deployment of emergency alert datacasting technology; systems that provide visual and audio alerts such as to digital billboards; integration of IPAWS alerts in Internet of Things devices; integration of satellite-based alert and warning technologies; tools to increase alert and warning coverage to rural areas; and coordination with NOAA to enhance signals for NOAA Weather Radios. Other than the last item, radio platforms or stations are not mentioned. IPAWS will hold two webinars this week “to highlight the proposed project list in the funding opportunity as ways grantees can test, pilot and evaluate alerting capabilities.” The deadline to apply via the FEMA grant page is Aug. 7.

Ex-CNN star Don Lemon claimed President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement is the “closest thing to the modern version” of Nazi Germany. Lemon said the only difference is the Trump administration is not aiming to wipe out millions of people by orchestrating a genocide — an important factor which seemed to undermine his whole argument. He made the MAGA-Nazi comparison during an interview on the Can’t Be Censored podcast on July 15. “MAGA is the closest thing to the modern version of the Nazi Party. This is America’s version,” Lemon said. “It’s the closest thing, without the Holocaust and all that stuff.” Lemon went on, saying MAGA voters are more concerned with White supremacy and blaming minorities for their problems than anything else. He ranted: Most intelligent people or logical people, when they get new information and that information is negative or not factual, they change their minds and go “Oh, I wish I’d known better, and now that I have this information, then I can readjust.” No matter how many facts and how much information you give them about this presidency, about the policies, they don’t change their minds. Because they’re really not voting for the price of eggs — they’re voting for White supremacy, they’re voting for power, they’re voting to have a preeminent voice. They’re afraid of — they’ve been co-opted by many people in the Republican Party and Donald Trump to think their failures are due to something else: the other, the Black person, the woman, the Latino, the immigrant, the migrant. That person is taking your job. That person is the reason that you don’t have the financial or career success that you think that you should have. Those comments went fairly viral on X on Sunday. Lemon’s take may sound extreme to millions of Americans, but he’s not the only high-profile liberal to compare MAGA to Nazi Germany in the recent past. llinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) compared Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigrants to Adolf Hitler rounding up Jews and other minorities for death camps last year, and progressive podcaster Jennifer Welch branded MAGA a “Nazi-style cult” in May.

- Trump Wants Canada to Stop ‘Poisoning’ the USA’s Air: ‘Maybe They Should...President Donald Trump called on Canada to get its wildfire problem under control because the smoke is “poisoning” American citizens — and suggested USA’s northern neighbor should consider paying for the “damages” it has caused. Trump talked about the wildfires while speaking to reporters on Sunday in front of Air Force One. The president was asked if he had spoken to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about the issue since he vowed on Friday to hold the country “responsible” for the fires. Trump confirmed they had a “good” conversation, but he wanted to see more done by the Canadians. “It went good, but I told him, I mean you gotta stop these fires from coming in and poisoning our air. Our air’s been poisoned,” Trump said. “I have a good relationship with Mark Carney, but you know, we gotta stop the fires up there.” Trump continued: If we can help them we’ll help them. But maybe they should pay us some damages or something? Or we should do some tariffs? But it was terrible. I mean, you had businesses closing — in particular, Michigan. If you look at Detroit, Michigan they had to close everything. They had to close car plants and a lot of other things. The Detroit Free Press reported last week a “thick, hazy smoke” pushed temperatures into the triple digits inside Ford’s Michigan assembly plant, forcing dozens of workers to seek medical attention. “I’ve never remembered this happening,” Trump added. “Over the last 4-5 years it started to take place. I never remember it happening before.” Fox News reported Canada has been grappling with about 850 wildfires, which have led to issues in more than 20 states along the East Coast and in the Midwest. Trump’s comments on Sunday come a few days after he threatened to raise tariffs on Canada due to the fires. The president spoke to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland following his appearance at the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina in New Jersey.
