All right. Donald Trump's default setting is to cheat. That's all he knows. He thinks the rules don't apply to him. The Supreme Court has told him the rules don't apply to him. 77 million Americans told him the rules do not app. This man gets away with so much stuff, he cannot tolerate any sort of fair play. So now this Peace prize FIFA Peace Prize winner is meddling in the World Cup. So he's called the FIFA president to review team USA's players red card. Pop this up. The most stunning controversy at the World cup erupted after it emerged that President Trump personally intervened to have US Striker Fuller and Baligan reinstated for the team's game against Belgium following his red card in the previous round. Sources have told the Guardian that Trump made three calls to FIFA to ensure that the change was made. FIFA insists an independent panel made the decision to suspend Baligan's red card. And Baligan has scored three goals in three starts. And he's a birthright citizen, right? And so here's the situation with this. This should not come from the president of the United States. This is why everybody hates the United States. We think we're better. We without evidence, we just dunk on everybody. We're loud, obnoxious, try to bend the rules. All this bullshit about American exceptionalism. And then people are like, yeah, but you, you allow sick People with cancer to die, you're not that exceptional. And here we have. Here's the thing about sports, nobody likes the refs. My son played AAU basketball for years and every game we lost it was like, well, boy, we had to play against those refs too. That's just what it is. The fact that Trump is intervening in this, calling the FIFA president who made up an award that never existed before to give to him, you know that this is what happened. But furthermore, I think it's incredibly rich. And this is a real example microcosm of the way white people view athletes is the exact same way that Donald Trump views this birthright citizen on the United States team. They will take away his constitutional right to be a birthright citizen. But if you can do something for me, if you can entertain me, then you're allowed. It's back to the Laura Ingraham, shut up and dribble. And I can't tell you how many white races I know whose love more than anything on the planet watching football and basketball, which are both dominated by black athletes. Yet when it comes to their welfare, when it comes to their well being, when it comes to their communities, they are tough titties, as cruel as all get out. And so this to me is such a stain. Whatever, whatever is going on behind the scenes of all of this. The President of the United States is not the person to call to get the rules bent. There is a board that does this. He called three times.

Here's the thing. I have heard nothing for the last three or four years before FIFA started in on the North American continent, how corrupt FIFA is as an organization, how corrupt the president of this organization is. Then we saw the example with the FIFA Peace Prize. So when I read this, I was like, well, of course you've got a corrupt leader in FIFA, a corrupt leader in the United States. And of course everybody is outraged over it because rules should apply uniformly and they don't. With Trump and all of the other oligarchs and this guy at the top of FIFA who's every bit as dirty as Trump.

I completely agree. All right, now Trump has taken to social media to post thanking FIFA, which is wildly inappropriate. Pop this up. Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right and reversing a great injustice. President Donald J. Trump. I mean this is third world shit. I mean this is like if Vladimir Putin did something like this, Russia hosting the World cup and he does this, everybody in the United States, particularly Republicans, would be losing their mind about how corrupt this is, how wrong it is, and this is what bothers me the most about Donald Trump is the cultural rot of how much worse he's made the population. Trump is going to die or he's not going to be in power. That's going to happen sooner rather than later. But that doesn't fix anything. There's still this cultural rot of a generation, that of, of men and women in this country, women who are now thinking their worth is only finding a husband and being a trad wife, and men who are feasting on rising sense of toxic masculinity and the rules. You know, I get to say, and I can say the R word again. All of this just, just stupid, low information stuff, he's made the country less moral, less just and dumber. And that's what bothers me about the residue from this man.

Not to mention the, the people, the influencers coming up behind him, the Nick Fuentes of the world are white supremacists, anti Semites, they are the absolute worst. The Tate brothers. They don't just want to use women, they want to harm women. That's what he has unleashed. And coming up behind him is worse. And we saw with J.D. vance, he's not going to condemn, you know, the right wing Republicans and all the white supremacy. It's getting worse. What's coming behind Trump in that population is worse than what Trump is.

All right. And Howard Lutnick worked back channels to override the red carpet suspension. Howard Letnick, this is a man who allowed his children to be around a sexual predator. You can just stop right there. No parent would allow their child to be around a sexual predator. And that sexual predator of course is Jeffrey Epstein. So of course, Howard Lutnick, he thinks the rules don't apply to him. He's the little short bald guy who's always knee slapping when Trump's man making stupid jokes or saying stuff that makes no sense. Pop this up. Howard Letnick, the US Commerce Secretary worked back channels with FIFA in an effort to get U S striker Fuller and Baligan's red card ban overturned. This reporting is via Politico.

You know, I just wonder what was the quid pro quo? I mean, we know that Trump is transactional. He's not afraid of committing crimes. Extortion, was it influence? Was it money? There had to be something that turned this because we know how corrupt FIFA is. Will we ever know? And all the other countries. Belgium is crying foul. We would be crying foul if this happened. We would be crying foul because it's not fair, it's not what the rules are. It is not how the rules were meant to be enforced. But again, going back to what you said, rules don't apply in this United States.

And it's, it's not. If we're going to know or never know, we already know. We know. Why does everybody bend the knee to Trump to curry favor? That's why they do it. Everybody bends the knee to him and has turned themselves into bigger assholes than they were before. People that have all the power and have the ability to look at this man and say, I'm so sorry, that's not the way this works. You have everyday Americans that are capable and able to do that. But these men in positions of power, what's been so fascinating for me to watch is just how submissive they are and how much they desire a monolithic society where they want everybody to be like them, look like them, sound like them and think like them, how threatened they are. Bi Diversity is what's so interesting. This guy knows that Trump's a nut. He's a nut too. Trump called him, called him, called him. You know, I did all of this stuff for you and I think this is what he does. And everybody just caves to them out of fear of what he's going to do afterwards. We've enabled this feces throwing toddler to be just a toddler, like bully to men's men in position of power. And this whole administration has been a huge indictment on the status quo system, that we have rigged it for. Men that don't have backbones. I mean, that's the big takeaway I get from this. None of these men have a backbone. Mark Zuckerberg, I got neutered. The FIFA president makes a trophy that doesn't exist and goes and gives it to Donald Trump. It's humilia of Apple makes a trophy and goes and gives it to Trump. Don't even get me started on that asshole Jeff Bezos. I mean, just a complete asshole. And there was reporting coming out that he's just knee slapping, dying, laughing at Trump all the time, just like Howard Lutnick. And then you have welfare queen Elon Musk who sits and rants and raves all day long about white nationalism and immigrants, which he is an immigrant and about the government. And this Guy's received like $38 billion in subsidies from the government. These guys, so painfully unoriginal, so, so painfully uncreative. And what strikes me most is that these men ascend probably, you know, with insecurities the whole way to this position of power. And then once they get there, they're being exposed as complete frauds with zero backbone. All right, so we'll see what happens. But no question, the whole world, yet again under President Trump is going to be rooting against the United States of America. All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe Comment we'll be back later with more news.
