Does a Spanish team photo from the World Cup trophy presentation have U.S. President Donald Trump edited out of it? No, that's not true: Trump was not removed -- digitally or otherwise -- from the photo. Broadcast footage of the ceremony shows Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino just outside the frame.
The claim appeared in a post and image (archived here) by the @harryjsisson account on X on July 20, 2026. It read:
LOL SPAIN EDITED TRUMP OUT OF THE PHOTO 🤣🤣🤣

The scene included in the post occurred during the trophy presentation, which can be seen in a video of the ceremony on the Fox Sports website (archived here) at about the 17-minute mark. Trump and Infantino can be seen just outside the right edge of the frame.
Below is a screenshot of what the video looked like at the time of writing. The approximate outline of the image in the social media post is highlighted in red. It shows Trump is outside the frame.
