Australian World Cup Fans Sing Anti-Trump Chant That Goes Viral Across the GlobeThousands of Australian soccer supporters turned a pre-match march into a political moment at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with a crowd-sung chant about Trump spreading like wildfire across social media ahead of Australia's 2-0 victory over Turkey in Vancouver.Around 10,000 traveling Socceroos fans packed the streets outside the stadium in full celebration mode when footage of the chant surfaced online. One supporter posted the clip to TikTok where it exploded in views, drawing hundreds of thousands of reactions from people around the world within hours.The chant, which called Trump a "sex offender," quickly became a flashpoint. For context, Trump was found liable for sexual abuse in a 2023 civil case, though sex offender status in the United States is tied exclusively to criminal convictions, not civil findings. Trump has denied all allegations against him.If you love the chant, you're my kind of person. Vancouver, where the match was played, proved to be sympathetic territory for that kind of political expression. The Aussies now face a decision heading into their next match in Seattle, one of the most progressive cities in the country, about whether to keep the chant in the repertoire.The moment quickly became bigger than soccer. It captured something a lot of people around the world are feeling right now, and 10,000 Australians said it loud enough for everyone to hear.
