Why can’t this trouble making dickhead just leave everything and everyone alone? 🙄🤬

Kathie Smith's avatar

He’s incapable of doing that! 🤬

Angela Tokarski's avatar

My mother always told me to keep my hands to myself and if I can’t do that then I had to sit on my hands! 😊

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

I am so looking forward to him suffering the humiliation as he sees everything he imagines is securing his "legacy" gets systematically eradicated.

Sorry, Jabba, we all STILL remember Epstein, 1/6 and all your illegal profiteering at our expense.

DAMN TROLL Donald J. Trump will NEVER Escape THE Jeff Epstein FILES! THAT DAMN TROLL Donald J. Trump APPEARS ONE MILLION TIMES IN THE Jeff Epstein FILES!

Mark Welles's avatar

When you have the cash you can get away with anything. E.g. Epstein didn't have enough-and that's probably why and when trump (supposedly) disdained him

Paul, how do you Really feel about the iDJiT? Don't hold back on my account

Kathie Smith's avatar

I learned that, too!

Kathie Smith's avatar

Bazinga! If y’all haven’t already read Mary L. Trump’s book, “Too Much and Never Enough!” READ it now to learn the backstory…… Mary also has a new book (I haven’t read that one yet.), “Mary Trump’s Trump.”

Mark Welles's avatar

"I want it. Give it to me or I'll hurt you." doesn't translate into "...just leave everything and everyone alone" in any language.

Dana Mah's avatar

It’s incapable of this kind of thought as the need for the pat on the back is a legacy of scarcity from its forebears.

Erika Fultz's avatar

Belgium has filed their grievances with fifa about the whole situation and, while the card should have been reversed, it should have gone through the appropriate channels. Fucking dump and fucking infant. 😡

Heather.B's avatar

Balogun's reversed red card should be addressed by the coach of the USMNT by not playing him against Belgium. It would solidify the integrity of the game and, in a larger sense, the US.

Trump has a talent for turning things that have nothing to do with him into another political circus. That’s a pretty incredible level of unnecessary chaos to bring wherever you go. He simply can’t tolerate accountability or the basic rules of fair play. What was he even thinking?

I feel so bad for the stain Trump has put in the USMNT. He has undermined the legitimacy of the team. Now any U.S. win will be tainted by his corruption. He cheats at everything: golf, finances, fundraising, politics, and now soccer...

This World Cup is tainted forever by Trump. I hope the players refuse to associate with him no matter what!

Here's my favorite t-shirt, It says: "Don't blame me, I voted for her, twice!" 👇

I held my nose and purchased access to Fox One to watch the games, and absolutely loved the game against B&H. Real excitement. Real joy. Almost made me forget the shame I feel at being an American today.

Tonight, I turned on the game for 5 minutes and . . . I could not care less who wins. I won't root against the US players, but I can't root for a team that cheats. And that's what this is.

Fifteen minutes before reading this comment, I said to my wife that the coach should not play Balogun. So Heather.B, you nailed it. If the US lost, well so be it. If they won, then they won fair and sqaure. Now, if they win --- indeed, if they go all the way --- the team and the win will forever be marked with an asterisk.

Everyday, in every way, we make choices about whether to play by the rules, or to find ways to avoid them. And most the time, we can justify cheating: everyone does it; no one will know; no one will suffer; corporations deserve it; taxes are too high; etc., etc., etc.

Trump has caused countless -- millions upon millions of -- Americans to believe that cheating is OK, lying is OK, hate is OK. The coach had a chance to show these people, and the world, that America still stands for good. He decided not to do so, putting winning ahead of everything else. That's too bad. But I'm canceling my subscription.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

I had the exact same reaction. And will be dropping FOX right after the final.

Andy Lambert's avatar

The coach was helpless the FIFA boss overruled him after the trump call.

Jonathan Backman's avatar

Andy, I fear I was not sufficiently clear. I was not saying that the coach should have insisted that FIFA maintain the suspension, just that the coach say that, under the circumstances, he was not going play him.

I get it that this would have been a very hard thing for a coach who was hired to win (or come as close as possible to winning) the World Cup to do. Had he done it, and had Belgium won, American soccer fans, non-soccer "patriots" (a/k/a Republicans, of course), and the media would have skewered him.

But sometimes --- and I'll step down from my soapbox momentarily --- doing the right thing is hard. And wow what a message he would have sent. Like the frighteningly few law firms who have given up the USA as a client rather than kiss the ring of our Fascident. And the frighteningly few doctors who continue to counsel their pregnant patients that they have a "choice" despite knowing that a prosecutor might show up at their door any moment to charge them with accessory to murder or some such nonsense. And the frighteningly few media outlets that continue to risk defamation suits to report honestly on this administration.

As I sit here today, I honestly don't know what I would have done had I been in that coach's shoes. But I suspect that I'm going to be finding out in the not-too-distant future, when going to the polls to vote for a straight Democratic tickets is going to tag me as a communist/socialist traitor.

One last thought: I watched about 10-15 minutes of the game, and it was nothing like the prior ones. There was something missing from team. And that something was the sense that they were the underdogs and the good guys. With one phone call from the President, they had become what America has become: too strong, and always wrong.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Nothing forced the coach to play him.

Mark Welles's avatar

Balogun still had the option to stay on the bench.

Deb's avatar

100% on the coach not playing him! I thought that the minute I heard about the call. The orange dickhead simply cannot leave well enough alone.

Gale Moore's avatar

I love your comment, “what was he thinking?” Seriously, are you assuming he has a brain to think with? 🤣🤣

Kathie Smith's avatar

Yup! You nailed it!

Andy Lambert's avatar

Belgiums appeal was denied by the FIFA corrupt president

Laurie Soffa's avatar

The heroic thing for the American team to do is not take the favor Bribe! Not every team has a sugar Daddy. Show your better than that UsA

Fran Berry's avatar

Good luck with that. Yanks think it’s always about them, they won’t take a stand, they’ll just accept the cheat. I hope they lose.

Apples&Pears's avatar

Just because Trump wants to cheat / get involved does not mean the rest of America wants this. We’d rather lose than cheat. We do not think everything about us. (Especially when it comes to soccer.)

Eddie E Hicks Sr's avatar

Not true, except for the MAGA sheep. trump has the support of a third of the country. The rest of us disapprove of what he has done to our country. He's a pathological lying con-man.

Lorne Holland's avatar

Interfering in a World Cup event is the very height of crass, inappropriate behaviour. I can think of no reason why the president of the United States would get involved he must have absolutely nothing else to do.

Judy Miller's avatar

Blame mama dumpy for never giving him any love and attention while he was a child, granted he has always been an unlovable subhuman since he was born.

Deb's avatar

His mom fell extremely ill when t was just a wee child….. he was left to a nanny and his sociopathic dad. Mary Trump’s book describes his horrible childhood. All that said, it is NOT an excuse for how the adult behaves. He is very sick man, the worst possible kind of person to put in his position. And here we are.

Lorne Holland's avatar

I have often said to my associates that we shouldn’t be blaming the individual nominally in-charge. He has been aided and batted by a cabal of grifters and conmen who are riding his coattails and Malik’s thermals wealthy.

Sharon's avatar

That’s what I thought…and take his damn phone away from him.

Ginny Walker's avatar

No matter how much Trash tries to dress up, it's still TRASH and smells like TRASH.

LARRY COUSINS's avatar

He is deplorable. He is unremittingly disgusting. He has tainted FIFA with a stench.

Pat Robinson's avatar

And again shown the world that the only way the US can win is to cheat.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

No, the only way TRUMP can win is to cheat.

Pat Robinson's avatar

True but now America has to live with his legacy in many ways. I hope it the records books they put an asterisk by these games and say America cheated. I'm ashamed of it, but that's what happened.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

No need to. US suffered a humiliating defeat.

Pat Robinson's avatar

Just saw the news...again so sad that I'm glad....or something.

Pat Robinson's avatar

I haven't seen anything yet! Isn't it sad I hope that's true!

Skip A Thorp's avatar

Yep, the stench of his soiled adult diaper. Baron von Schitzenpants.

Kathie Smith's avatar

💩 💩💩💩🤥🤢🤮

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

He's scheduled to present the trophy on the 19th. Looking forward to a stadium united in booing this low IQ grifter.

Nancy Jackson's avatar

Trump is disgusting! He wouldn't know a soccer ball from snow ball.

He continues to lower our esteem around the world.

Jack box's avatar

He didn’t understand what a Red Card meant Dippy Don 🤦‍♀️absolute disgrace!!

ruckusmakers's avatar

So disappointing. Im embarrassed for our country. He ruins integrity on everything!!

Marat Oyvetsky's avatar

Between the grease-stained back alleys of global politics and the sacred, sweat-soaked grass of the World Cup pitch, Donald Trump apparently decided the rules are optional. It’s like a garnish you flick off the plate when it doesn’t suit your mood. The idea that Donald Trump would wade into the theater of international football and suggest a red card be erased is the kind of absurdity that would get you laughed out of a third-rate dive bar in Naples. Red cards, much like gravity and hangovers, are non-negotiable. You earn them, you suffer through them, and the world moves on. But here we are, watching a man who has spent a lifetime bending reality like overcooked pasta now trying to rewrite the laws of the game mid-match, as if FIFA were just another contractor he could bribe or stiff.

And then, because subtlety has never been on the menu, we get the comparison to Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. If the U.S. team loses, well, naturally, it must be rigged. Not outplayed, not outmaneuvered, not undone by the cruel poetry of sport….but rigged. It’s the same tired dish reheated and served with extra grievance, a worldview where losing is never an option, only a conspiracy. The World Cup, that chaotic, glorious collision of cultures and skill, reduced to a stage for ego and delusion. It’s almost impressive in its brazenness, like insisting your burnt steak is medium-rare and daring anyone to argue. But the rest of the world isn’t buying it. They’re too busy playing the game as it’s meant to be played…hard, fair, and with the understanding that sometimes, you lose.

warwick padmore's avatar

Threatened!? Tainted!? Every single football association left in the tournament should have refused to continue and caused a catastrophic problem for infantino and FIFA. The 2026 World

Cup will be remembered for the stench it left on the “beautiful game.”

PAULA DE ABREU's avatar

Infantino...the soccer gift that keeps on giving to the 🍊💩. Now the referees won't want to give any USA player a red card for the rest of the games. Everything Trump touches turns to 💩. GOOD LUCK BELGIUM!!! GIVE THEM HELL!!! 👍

Andy Lambert's avatar

Belgium’s appeal was denied by Infantino. Corrupt people stick together

Debi Adams's avatar

Trump is joy killer. First 250 celebrations. Now the World Cup..

Joan MacLeod's avatar

They have tainted the US team if they go forward now. Even if the red card was unwarranted, it should not have been removed. The US team could take that taint off if they sit the player anyway but I can't see that happening. As a Canadian I'll be cheering for Belgium tonight as I'm sure many around the world be. You are totally correct Brian, I've been loving the World Cup games with teams and fans from other countries mingling with Americans and each other bringing joy and laughter back to the US.

DirtyBird's avatar

Way to taint any win or loss for all players

Julie Nunn's avatar

I blame FIFA for this. They could have told him NO and let it stand. Does ANYONE out there ever say NO to that sorry POS???

CL's avatar

The organization is corrupt, & run by a corrupt thug.

Cheryl Shushan's avatar

Trump destroys everything he touches. Now, if the U.S. wins, it will be illegitimate! The only way to be fair is to voluntarily sideline our player in the game against Belgium. Trump is such a despicable jerk.

Fran Berry's avatar

The fucking player should man up and not accept the reversal. Do the yanks ALWAYS HAVE TO CHEAT?

Peyton H.'s avatar

Fact is HE (the player) did not cheat but.... a call is a call and it should have stayed. It's the fucking president that cheated!! Yes, the entire team should man up and not accept the reversal.

Fran Berry's avatar

My comment stands, the player should have refused the reversal.

Andy Lambert's avatar

It’s not up to the players to decide the rules. Not even the coaches. It’s infantino who denied Belgium’s appeal. News media don’t tell you the whole story. Trump threatened with pulling America out of the FIFA games if infantino didn’t cave.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Fine. Finish it in Canada and Mexico.

Fran Berry's avatar

The world knows dump is a cheater. That player knows the reversal is wrong but doesn’t take a stand? Hes as bad as the fat bastard.

No need to make excuses for him. Yanks always need to fix the game

Michelle Goldsmith's avatar

Please don't paint Americans all with the same brush, especially this one!

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Americans don't cheat. Trump does.
