The hopeless, bad people' just won Donald Trump's World Cupwww.politico.comPresident Donald Trump has spent much of his second term in office berating Spain over its anemic military spending and refusal to allow American forces to use Spanish bases for bombing missions in Iran. Earlier this month, Trump branded the country "hopeless," derided the Spanish as "bad people" and briefly threatened to cut off all trade in goods with Madrid. Today, the president who in March dubbed the country a "loser" had to celebrate Spain as the winner of a World Cup that Trump worked to make his own. He handed the sports world's greatest prize to captain Rodri in front of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, King Felipe VI and a global television audience of more than one billion.
