If I were the president of FIFA, after hearing these words, I would award Trump the Nobel Peace Prize uwu

The fact that Infantino believes Trump shows yet again just how stupid he (Infantino) is. I never thought FIFA could do worse than Sepp Blatter. Man was I wrong!

Stupid? No. Evil and sadistic? Yes, big time.

He doesn’t care if trump is lying and throws the Iranian players into a concentration camp. He just wants to be able to tell them trump said it’s ok.

President Trump gave me $50 and I repeated whatever he said. When ICE detains them they will have to pay me $100 to say how much I empathise with ICE and how hard it is for them to determine who they are kidnapping and sending to concentration camps.

FIFA Be Best!

Well if this is not the “deny reality” level, I do not know what it is

FIFA fucked itself hard by getting inline to lick boot. This World Cup was already looking like a disaster, wait until the first knife attacks start happening in line to those matches

knife attacks

That’s not how we do things in the US. :-(

Welcome to play, might possibly get torpedoed by Hegseth on their way home. Who knows?

Felt cute, might war crime later.

I thought we stopped doing world cups in 2018?

I boycotted the last two WCs. Sadly, I’m going to boycott this one as well.

Why should Trump’s opinion matter the fact it does shows something.

Because they’ll be in the US and subject to the little king’s ICE secret police?
