🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on FIFA overturning Folarin Balogun's red card following Donald Trump's intervention:
"Everyone is acting so shocked today. Everyone is crying about politics and Donald Trump making phone calls to Gianni Infantino to change the rules. But why are we surprised? The integrity of this tournament was thrown in the trash in the very first week.
All this started when FIFA let Lionel Messi escape a clear red card for a studs-up challenge. When you decide that the rules do not apply to the poster boy, you open the door for everyone else. If the referee's monitor can be ignored for Argentina's captain to protect the brand, why can't a suspension be ignored for the United States President?
Folarin Balogun gets a red card, Trump makes a call, and suddenly FIFA finds a magic 'Article 27' to let him play against Belgium. It is a circus. We are no longer watching a World Cup, we are watching a political reality show where the rulebook is just a suggestion based on who you are and who is watching."
Those laughing and the laughable clearly do not understand what the meaning of fair play principles is. OMG, what is your reality? And thumbs up for Pierce!

Sorry American soccer fans, but after listening to this demented pile of orange shit openly brag about his FIFA corruption, I hope Belgium beats the living shit out of Team USA tonight. Trump has singlehandedly turned millions of us into Belgium fans. 🇧🇪
Reporter: Can you describe your phone call with Gianni Infantino about the red card? Belgium is appealing the decision.
Trump: You’re asking me about the whole soccer thing. So, yeah, I did. I spoke to Gianni.
That wasn’t a foul. That wasn’t even an infraction. That was two guys running full speed who happened to crash into each other. You can’t properly place your foot on somebody else’s foot when you’re going full speed. No, these were two great athletes who got tangled up.
And this referee, who is a little bit suspect—if you check his past. I don’t want to say that because I don’t like to create controversy, but very suspect. If you’d like, I’ll provide you with his past.
He didn’t do anything wrong, and he’s our best player, or one of our best players—a very vital player—and they gave him a red card.
I didn’t know what that meant. I didn’t think it meant much. Then I started hearing that it means you can’t play in the next game, at least in the next game.
I said, “Boy, that’s a big—” You know, if it happened to another player, it would have been unfair, but when they take your best player—or just about; they have some great players—and say you can’t play, that’s very unfair.
That’s one thing, to penalize somebody for the game. But how do you penalize them for a game that hasn’t been played yet? It’s very unfair. You can’t do that.
So, yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man who is highly respected, and by the way, whose level of respect has gone up tenfold.
One phone call from President Trump to his buddy Gianni Infantino and — boom — FIFA overturns a World Cup red card suspension for the first time in tournament history so U.S. star Folarin Balogun can play Belgium tomorrow.
Belgium is already furious and “astonished.” They should be. Contest this rigged nonsense publicly all day today and all day tomorrow.
The World Cup on American soil just became a Trump family business. So much for credibility, fairness, or rules. This stinks of corruption. ⚽📞🇺🇸

Trump: China uses coal. The unsuccessful countries use wind. China. Those beautiful windmills that blow round and round and don't do anything except cost you money every time it goes around, you lose $10. Every country that uses wind is a disaster.

ABD–İran görüşmelerinde JD Vance ve Trump'ın damadı Kushner'in mutabakat metni üzerinde çalıştığı anlar.
JD Vance'in önündeki bilgisayarın kendisine ait olmaması ve görüşmenin en kritik anlarından birinde başka bir personelin kartıyla çalışması tepki çekti.
In support of prime minister Giorgia Meloni, Italian daily newspaper Libero came out with a headline that every newspaper in the world wants to print: "TRUMP IS AN ASSHOLE."
Trump: It flies further and faster than any Air Force One. You don't have to stop for fuel every few hours. You maybe will never have to stop a fuel. It's got, they call it unlimited, well it's pretty close to unlimited.
