Trump Cheats at Everything!

Donald Trump doesn’t merely bend rules. He treats public office as another business opportunity and government power as a tool to reward allies, enrich his family, punish enemies, and help friends cut to the front of the line.

The latest example is almost comical: President Trump personally called FIFA president Gianni Infantino and asked him to reconsider the suspension of U.S. soccer player Folarin Balogun after a red card. Days later, FIFA took the extraordinary step of lifting the suspension, allowing Balogun to play. It was reportedly the first such reversal since 1962.

Most people understand something Trump apparently never has: a victory only means something if it is earned fairly. When someone with power intervenes to change the rules for your side, the win is forever tainted.

But this isn’t just about the beautful game being sullied, it’s part of a pattern inherent to the man.

The FIFA incident matters because it reveals the same instinct that runs through everything else: if Trump can pull strings, break rules, or even break the law, he will. His only boundary is what he can get away with.

If government power can benefit his family, his donors, or his political allies, he sees no reason not to use it.

Cheating isn’t an occasional lapse, it’s in his DNA.
