Originally published at: From Red Cards to Photobombs, Donald Trump Tried to Make the World Cup About Himself
Spain Edits Trump Out of Instagram Post Ahead of the World Cup’s Round of 16, President Donald Trump literally interfered with the U.S. team’s run as he called FIFA boss Gianni Infantino and argued for a controversial red card to be reviewed. And, on Sunday, as the quadrennial tournament came to its conclusion, Trump crashed…

Why should the World Cup be different from anything else in his life. He heard the word world and thought, ME.

Of course this stupid fool has ownership in this tiny fraction of the gas distribution market, there is nothing too petty for him to have his slimy shit stained little fingers in.
I think theoretical physicists need to look into trumps core, there’s got to be a black hole of emptiness that his pathetic imagination just can’t fill enough. All the cheap plastic and pot metal covered in fake gold leaf in the world will ever make you anything but a gigantic pathetic asshole, and nobody, and I mean nobody, will care when you’re gone. Nobody.

“If you’re completely off your rocker and have delusions of grandeur in which your personal existence is of special significance to the rest of the world, all hope is not lost. Mix in enough charisma and you have what it takes to start a religion… or become a serial killer.” ― Edward M. Wolfe

We KNOW the Trump is an embarrassment but yesterday really ratcheted it up. He didn’t do jack squat to ‘host’ the World Cup. It was the states. The people. The cities. ALL of the good will was to the people of the USA, Mexico and Canada. He almost wrecked it all when he insisted FIFA pull the red card but people say thru him and then…yesterday. He goes to the final, he brings his family and friends and then he hijacks the stage. And…his sycophants thank ‘him’. Today he jacks up tariffs on Canada for WILD FKN FIRES. Get him the hell out of here.

Meanwhile, on the Trump campaign’s Instagram page, they operated in another reality and posted shots of the celebration that featured the president along with captions giving him credit for the whole tournament.
“AMERICA HOSTED AN INCREDIBLE WORLD CUP THANKS TO PRESIDENT @realdonaldtrump!” one post on the “Team Trump” page declared.
I am glad Spain edited him out of their instagram post but for me this claim that the US put on the greatest World Cup ever without acknowleging Canada or Mexico is an embarrisement I hope he never overcomes. He should be ashamed.

What a nutshell description of this administration, how it operates and the state of the president they serve.
Literally exploiting a senior president who has zero judgement left.
When he was standing there like a lump, gazing at the crowd before he was hustled off, I have no doubt he believed the cheering was for him.

Trump has no shame and is utterly incapable of feeling shame. It goes with being a narcissitic megalomaniac.

I’m waiting for Canada to “accidentally” cut off all the fuel and electricity it provides the US, not that The Diarrhea Don would give a rat’s ass about the hardship it would cause.

That was posted by Andrew Giuliani, son of Rudy, leaker of dye. He was given the post of executive director for the White House Task Force on the FIFA World Cup 2026, I guess, in lieu of Cheeto Mussolini paying the $2 million he owes his dad for “legal services.” Also, he golfs.

He walked on to the field to a chorus of boos. While many were those he had to share with Intanfanti the great majority were for him.

While Trump cares about being the center of attention, he is bored, confused or ignorant about governing. Alan Wolfe, a retired professor of political science was pre-MAGA in discussing why the far-right can’t or has no interest in governing and readily falls into looting and repression mode. For example,

Although the words are found in the dictionary, only certain words are dog whistles or carry hidden, usually ugly, meanings, including symbolic racism.
