Fans loved the interaction, as it understandably went viral on social media. One wrote: “Merino doing the Trump dance has killed me.” Another said: “Mikel Merino doing the Trump dance right next to him is historic.” While a third wrote: “Never change, Mikel Merino.” While Merino saw the funny side of Trump’s antics, Spain striker Borja Iglesias admitted before the game that he would only shake the president’s hand because he didn’t want to “go to prison”. But it’s without doubt that Iglesias preferred receiving the gold medal from Trump than the silver ones awarded to Argentina.
