In a video shared on Instagram by Donald Trump's daughter Tiffany Trump on Sunday, July 20 ahead of the FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey, the president is seen looking out the window of one of his presidential helicopters flying over Met Life stadium.
Next to the former reality star, who has a widely reported love for fast food, are an assortment of snacks, including Biscoff cookies, commonly given to passengers on commercial flights, as well as Starbursts and a can of soda.

At the end of the game, which ended in an overtime 1-0 win for Spain over Argentina, Trump also turned heads for refusing to step aside for a celebratory photo of just the Spanish team, with the FIFA president appearing in videos hurriedly trying to get him out of frame.

In the latest of Trump's legally contested, not congressionally approved construction projects to the White House and surrounding areas, he is now moving forward with construction of a black granite helipad on the South Lawn, for which he has not asked Congress or any review panel, such as the Commission of Fine Arts, to approve, as is customary. Lockheed Martin, a major defense contractor, is paying for the helipad project, which Trump estimated would cost between $5 million and $6 million.
