EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of a failed attempt on his life, joining family and close advisers at the FIFA Club World Cup final.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump travelled from their golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, to East Rutherford 40 miles (64 kilometers) away to watch the final match of the U.S.-hosted tournament between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea at MetLife Stadium.

Trump was greeted with cheers as he arrived at the stadium just ahead of the pre-match musical performance by singers Robbie Williams and Laura Pausini. And he got a smattering of boos when he was briefly shown on the stadium’s mega-screen.

The president waved to the crowd as he and his entourage arrived at the stadium luxury box where they were taking in the match.

The Trumps were joined by FIFA President Gianni Infantino for the start of the match. Other guests in the president’s suite included Attorney General Pam Bondi, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, NFL great Tom Brady and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

MetLife in a little over a year will host the 2026 World Cup final.

PSG was looking to win its fourth major title of the season, exactly 100 days after it clinched Ligue 1 on April 5. The team added the Coupe de France by beating Reims 3-0 on May 24, then romped over Inter Milan seven days later in the Champions League Final.

Chelsea, however, was dominating and held a 3-0 halftime lead behind a pair of goals from Cole Palmer and one from João Pedro.

Sunday’s match falls on the first anniversary of the assassination attempt he survived in Butler, Pennsylvania, while campaigning for president.

The international sporting match also could offer an opportunity for Trump...

Too many coincidences, no credible investigation of who the assassin’s acquaintances were.

Chelsea only came 4th in the English Premier League yet they are winning the FIFA Club World Cup final.
Funny isn't it?

Well, they don’t call it “Satan’s sport” for nothing.
Ok, so nobody but me calls it that, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an apt label

Looking to WC.
Friend and I are heading to England and Ireland in early June next year to catch a match in a pub in each country.
Then home to enjoy the rest of the Cup from the comfort of home.
Probably catch a match on the East coast also.😎

I remember hearing (maybe it was President Trump himself who said it) the Secret Service wanted to put him on a stretcher and take him away from the stage. Trump refused, and instead stood up, waved his fist in the air, and shouted "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Just imagine how the Democrats and the media would have used the image of him being carried out on a stretcher. The non-stop mantra would have been that he was too seriously wounded to continue in the race, and was not physically able to carry out the duties of the presidency.

Now they are forced to push the conspiracy theory that it was a hoax.

Also: "Where are my shoes?" as he was being escorted away from the lectern. He insisted on being ambulatory and he insisted on WALKING into the emergency room. To let all know he was nicked but still all right.

Color me shocked.

I was expecting (and hoping) that PSG would run Chelsea out of the stadium.

I guess PSG became a little too cocky and completely bottled the match.
