Trump Cheats at Everything!

From the NYTimes:

President Trump called Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, on Wednesday and asked him to review the suspension of the United States’ top goal scorer, Folarin Balogun, after he was given a red card in the team’s match that night against Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to three people familiar with the conversation.

On Sunday, FIFA announced that Mr. Balogun would be eligible to play Monday against Belgium after his red card ban was suspended.

The reversal is highly unusual and the first time since 1962 that FIFA has allowed a player to appear in a game when they would have been suspended. It also comes as Mr. Infantino has spent years trying to curry favor with Mr. Trump. Last year, FIFA created and gave Mr. Trump the FIFA Peace Prize amid the president’s public, but failed, campaign to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Since he has never won anything fairly, he doesn’t know that there is a world of difference between winning fairly and the taint of having someone pull strings for you. I feel sorry for the US national team who will have ever win despoiled by the knowledge that they might not have won on their own and dishonor they will face from the rest of the football world.

Trump probably doesn’t realize that his FIFA Peace Prize is nothing; it’s a sop given to a spoiled brat to quiet him.
