Why it worked

The video uses a satirical approach to political commentary, leveraging a current event (FIFA World Cup) and a polarizing figure (Donald Trump) to create humor and engagement. The unexpected visual of Trump at the ceremony and the subsequent questioning of his identity and the presence of a possible body double likely drove curiosity and shares.

Summary

Jon Stewart humorously questions the presence of Donald Trump at the FIFA World Cup trophy ceremony, suggesting he might be a body double and mocking his perceived self-importance. The segment highlights the absurdity of Trump's alleged claims about the event's scale and the presence of a mysterious figure in the background.

Product placement

FIFA: acts - it is the organization that runs the World Cup, and its trophy is presented. Removing it would change the video's topic. TDS: appears - it is the creator's watermark/logo. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Spain, clearly the best team in this year's tournament, celebrated receiving the World Cup trophy with a trophy hoist, which is traditionally, it's a moment that is shared really only by the players. Especially moment that is shared really only by the players. It's really just… What the fuck are you doing on the stage? It's for the players. God! Damn! Why must everything be tainted by the inflated ego of Kankles' moldoon? Why? I will admit this, afterwards, Trump had some really insightful post-game analysis. I thought it was incredible. It was four times greater than any FIFA ever held. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What's a FIFA? How could our FIFA be four times greater than any other FIFA? That's probably about five times actually, they're telling me today. Is that what they told you? Is that what they told you? Because everyone around you lies to you. Because you are a widow. Can we go back a second? And I don't mean to… What's up with the guy behind Trump? Can you see that again? What the fuck is this guy? Who in the world is it? Oh my god, is that a backup Trump? Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on a second. Wait. Who? What? What? Is that a backup Trump? Or is that Trump? Is the one we've been dealing with backup Trump? Because everyone around you lies to you. Because you are a widow. Can we go back a second? And I don't mean to… What's up with the guy behind Trump? Can you see that again? What the fuck is this guy? Who in the world is it? Oh my god, is that a backup Trump? Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on a second. Wait. Who? What? What? Is that a backup Trump? Or is that Trump? Is the one we've been dealing with backup Trump?
