It has nothing to do with politicians doing politician things. It has to do with a narcissistic megalomaniacal snowflake who has to make everything about himself, take credit for shit he has nothing to do with and only knows how to cheat and get away with it.

I don’t think it’s weird or uncommon for trump to ask FIFA to reconsider a red card. He’s a politician doing politics there. It is weird for FIFA to go along with it though, I would be upset at FIFA if they hadn’t already proven how corrupt they are in the past.

So you were expecting trump to do something different? I’m saying I’m not surprised at Trump’s actions. But why would FIFA enable this sort of action, just say no.

It’s not uncommon for Trump to ask FIFA to reconsider a red card.
For just about any other politician in the world it would be deeply strange. It’s a sporting competition, and politicians should stay out of it. If they get what they want, they only taint a potential victory. If they don’t get what they want they look weak, and embarrass their country.

Politicians stay out of sporting decisions for this reason.
