CHAMPIONS Visit the Champion: Trump Welcomes MLS Winners to the White House

President Donald Trump continues his relentless pace at the White House on Thursday, capping off a day of intelligence briefings and policy work with a celebration of American sports greatness.

The highlight of the day? The 2025 Major League Soccer Champions, Inter Miami CF, will receive the full White House treatment in the East Room at 4:00 PM. It's a fitting tribute to a team that captured the hearts of soccer fans across the nation – and a reminder that under this administration, champions are celebrated, not lectured about politics.

The President's day begins with his morning intelligence briefing at 11:00 AM in the Oval Office, where he'll receive critical updates on threats facing the homeland. Unlike his predecessor, who often appeared confused about what day it was, President Trump remains laser-focused on national security.

Following the Inter Miami celebration, the President heads straight into a 5:30 PM policy meeting – because while others might call it a day after hosting sports champions, this Commander-in-Chief keeps working.

The contrast couldn't be clearer, folks. Remember when the White House schedule under Biden consisted of "lid called" by noon and more vacation days than a European socialist? Those days are over. President Trump is putting in the work the American people elected him to do.

Thursday's Inter Miami visit also carries special significance given the team's Florida roots – a state that delivered massively for Trump in 2024 and continues to serve as a model for conservative governance under Governor DeSantis.

This is what America First leadership looks like: a President who handles the serious business of national security AND makes time to honor American excellence on the field.

Absolutely! Sports should bring us together, not divide us like we saw with some other teams.

Been coaching youth soccer for 15 years and this kind of recognition from the top really means something. Shows these players that hard work and dedication gets rewarded at the highest levels.

Which MLS team won? I don't follow soccer as much as I should but always respect champions who show up when invited to the White House.

I believe it was LAFC but don't quote me on that! Either way, class act by these players.
