President Donald Trump said Monday that FIFA made the "right decision" to lift U.S. forward Folarin Balogun's red card suspension, as he confirmed his call with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
🎤 Whisper Transcript (en)

"On behalf of all Americans, thank you for getting rid of that ridiculous red card. This is his... It was spectacular. There was a reason the FIFA trophy sat here for as long as it did. All I did, I asked for a review because I didn't think it was a foul. And, you know, again, I'm good at this stuff. I didn't think it was a foul. I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled. That was not a guy punching somebody in the face or anything that, you know, would be different. And I think it's a terrible... If they wouldn't allow, you know, a top player, maybe the best, maybe among the best players on the team, to play, I think it would have had a big stain. And I related just that field. I didn't tell him what to do. I can't tell him what to do. And I don't believe he made the decision. I think it was a committee that made the decision. And they made the right decision because, number one, it wasn't a foul. And you want to see a game with your best players. You don't want to say, how would you feel if I took, you know, we take Messi out? You know, he ran into somebody. Or we took Ronaldo. Ronaldo, you bumped into somebody. We're going to take you out of the game. He's great. Well, Harry Kane. Harry Kane, we're going to take you out of the game, Harry, because you happened to hit somebody a little bit harder than you can't. You can't do that. If you would have taken him out, I think it would have really stained this incredible champion. We got to have our best players, and they've got, Belgium's got a great team, by the way. We got to have our best players, and they have to have their best. And if we win or we lose, it's fair. Otherwise, let's say we lost him and we lose the game. It would be a terrible thing. So I think they made a really brilliant decision. I think the referee's call was horrible. And nobody talks about that. They talk about the red card like it's fine. Nobody talks about it. The referee's decision to red card. I didn't know what the hell a red card was. When I found out, I said, you got to be kidding. This guy just hands up, OK, your best player is not going to play next week or in the next game. I said, wow, that's a lot of power. That's terrible. I will tell you this. The people in Belgium, if they win the game, they can be very proud. If they would win the game with a player missing, it would have been a different feeling. You can't do that. And I'm very glad all I did was ask for a review. I didn't say you have to do this."

Perhaps he should look at every game plaid and correct it?
Would keep him from destroying other things, like the world.</p>

The real damage goes far beyond the USA. He's setting precedent for all wannabe dictators.
If he gets away with this, the fallout will be disastrous for years, perhaps even longer!</p>
