True. He wasn’t even in a stadium yet.
No. One of his employees announced that Trump would be at the game today Seattle coming, but it doesn’t look like that anymore. However, we know that he wants to be there at the finale.
Is Trump the 12th man on the US national team?
I feel sorry for the US national team, especially Folarin Balogun, who is at the center of this controversy. It is important to emphasize that Balogun himself had accepted the red card with great composure and professionalism. He very impressively stated that he would not complain about the decision because he knows that young people look up to him. He wanted to show them how to deal with disappointment.
Trump doesn’t seem to care.
Yes, this is in stark contrast to the President of the United States, who stomps into the room like an elephant, calls Gianni Infantino and simply tries to impose his will. In doing so, President Trump has essentially given a footnote to any possible success for the US team. It’s a real shame for these players because they deserve their place in the round of 16. Now the spirit of Trump will hang over everything this team achieves.
You just said the team deserved it. What does this process mean for the proud sporting nation? USAwho always wants to win?
I believe this very idea – that the United States must win – is at the heart of the Trump brand. That’s why it’s no surprise that he tries everything to give the US team an advantage. Even in a sport he knows next to nothing about. But the real irony is that he wants to save someone who doesn’t need saving at all. Balogun is an independent, competent person. And secondly, Balogun only plays for the US national team because there is the birthright citizenship principle.
Balogun was born in the United States to Nigerian parents who were staying here temporarily after an airline refused to allow them to continue their flight pregnancy the mother had refused. That’s the only reason why Balogun can play for our team today as an American. All of this is happening in the same week in which the Supreme Court dealt with Donald Trump’s demand to abolish the place of birth principle. Balogun plays for the USA and scores goals. But it is precisely these people who would like to throw President Trump and his government out of the country.
