Trump makes a call to his amiguito Infantino, pushing for Balogun’s red card/one-game suspension to be overturned, and voila, Balogun can play tomorrow night.
It’s just gross, and kinda makes me want to root against the U.S., even though it’s not the players’ fault and I also don’t really like Belgium.
Also, ironic he is pushing to get back a player he doesn’t think is a citizen. I guess he’s stopping the birthright citizenship fight??

@obrien_kat That’s my reaction: cheer for anyone but the U.S. now. And if they make it to the final, boycott it and don’t watch 47 handing the cup to the winner if it’s the U.S. They would be an illegitimate winner, just like the illegitimate president. #WorldCup

@JonChevreau @obrien_kat why would you do that to this team? They had nothing to do with this this is just so typical everything Trump touches dies. Don’t blame it on the team. They are wonderful joyful team and they could’ve weathered this. Oh my God the response on social media is so pissing me off.
