Lip reader reveals Trump's giddy reaction to Club World Cup final
The President and First Lady were enjoying the Chelsea v Paris Saint Germain game at the MetLife Stadium, with Chelsea cruising to a shock 3-0 win over the French side to become Champions of the World.
Lip reader Nicola Hickling has revealed to The Irish Star, what the 79-year-old President was saying to his wife as they watched game, and he was almost childlike in his reaction.

It's so freaking magical.'
He is then said to have turned to Melania and asked her, 'Sweetie, do you think it could've been any better?'
But after Chelsea triumphed, Trump managed to hijack the headlines, by being centre stage with the team as they celebrated their win, and even seemingly refused to move aside when they lifted the trophy, in a moment that went viral around the world.

Pic:Some of the Blues players have since admitted they were left baffled by his decision to remain on the stage while the team received the trophy, but Donald Trump eventually found himself pushed to the back of the group amid the celebrations.
Speaking to Melania in their VIP Suite, Trump said he gets 'such a rush just from being among it all' before urging everyone else in the VIP Box, including FIFA President Gianni Infantino – to 'Look at it all'.
Trump received a mixed reception from some 80,000 fans packed inside MetLife Stadium, with some people booing the President as his image appeared on the stadiums giant screens.

Ian Bailey's ex to open up on who she thinks murdered Sophie Toscan du Plantier
Ian Bailey's former lover believes she knows who murdered Sophie Toscan du Plantier in a new book. Jules Thomas, whose ex was long considered a suspect in the brutal killing in December 1996, is writing her autobiography as she battles a life-threatening blood disease. While she and Mr Bailey were no longer a couple when he died last year, she told how the crime ruined their lives and she will never forgive the gardai for how they treated them. Although Ms Thomas, who is a painter, didn't name names, she said the killer is someone well connected with the forces of law and order. She also believes the culprit was involved in a relationship with the tragic French film producer who was battered to death, just 100 yards from her holiday home in Schull, Co Cork. Ms Thomas said: "I will tell my side of the story in this book. I want to get the truth out there while I am alive. "Ian Bailey may have been a lot of things but he did not kill Sophie. "He didn't have it in him to kill anyone – he couldn't kill a turkey for God's sake."

But she was having none of it. She recalled: "When gardai brought me in for questioning all those years ago they kept telling me my life was in danger and Ian would eventually kill me. Well here we are all these years later and guess what? Ian didn't kill me. "He has passed on and I am still here. He was never a danger to me or anyone else. Gardai, as far as I am concerned, tried to frame Ian for the murder and in doing so ruined our lives. "They never seriously looked at any other suspects. "In this book I will tell what actually went on and put the record straight. "Gardai did everything to get me to change my story but the truth is the truth. I kept telling them Ian did not kill Sophie but they wouldn't listen."

He was then convicted in absentia by a French court of murder and sentenced to 25 years jail. But Irish authorities refused to extradite him because much of the evidence was based on hearsay and would never have been admissible in an Irish court. Ms Thomas' comments come as US forensic experts are using new technology to try and identify DNA from a blood sample found on the block used to kill Sophie. Her family in Paris are hoping for a breakthrough and are adamant the biological material will be that of Mr Bailey, who died of a heart attack.
