"It’s clear by now that Trump can’t bear to hear anyone clapping and not want to shove his melting face into the mix. (How did they keep him out of Taylor Swift’s wedding?) America is still cringing from the sight of the lumbering dufus POTUS refusing to get out of Team Spain’s World Cup trophy photo, a bridge too far even for fawning FIFA president Gianni Infantino (he who ginned up a FIFA Peace Prize for the needy U.S. president), to whom it fell to hustle Trump off the pitch as he lurked around doing his lame YMCA moves.

Sometimes, it’s the most obvious things that reveal character in the raw and penetrate the torpid public psyche. We’ve had nearly ten years of the Trump clown show, but rarely displayed in front of a global television audience of 1.5 billion people. The WTF photo-op embarrassment followed the red card phone call when Trump asked Infantino to reverse the penalty against star U.S. footballer Folarin Balogun. That shameful incident was the perfect Trump character tell: there is no rule he doesn’t think he can bend." —Tina Brown
