Athletic Roots: Trump’s Early Sporting Legacy
Before his political career, Donald Trump was recognized for his athleticism at the New York Military Academy (NYMA). Former classmates recall his excellence in football and baseball, praising his “physical and mental gifts.”
“He could have gone pro in baseball,” one former coach told the News, “Especially as a pitcher. He had serious natural talent.” A classmate added: “He had the mind of a strategist—whether it was on the field or later in the boardroom.”

A Crowd United in Patriotism
The event transcended sport. “I came not just for the match, but to witness a leader who stood tall after facing death,” one emotional attendee shared with the News.
Inside the VIP suite, the Trumps were joined by a powerhouse lineup: Attorney General Pam Bondi, Transport Secretary Sean Duffy, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, media executive Rupert Murdoch, and NFL legend Tom Brady. Their collective presence underscored the high political and cultural stakes of the evening.
From Survival to Celebration
On July 13, 2024, during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, eight shots were fired—one grazing the President’s ear. That near-death moment became a defining event in American political history. One year later, his appearance at the FIFA Club World Cup Final symbolized resilience and national recovery.
As Chelsea FC sealed a 3–0 victory over PSG, President Trump joined Infantino on the field beside the Club World Cup Trophy. Cameras flashed as the President stood with the champions, bridging worlds of sport and statesmanship. After brief remarks, Infantino guided the President aside to let Chelsea bask in their victory.
