Donald Trump’s White House visit with Inter Miami, the 2025 MLS Cup champions, was overshadowed by the president’s political tangents and self-promotion. The event, intended to honor the team’s achievement, quickly devolved into a platform for Trump to discuss unrelated issues, leaving players like Lionel Messi as silent observers. The visit highlighted a pattern of Trump using sporting events for political purposes, prioritizing his own agenda over celebrating athletic success.
