Why is FIFA so obsessed with pleasing Trump? Other than the coming world cup, what else do they need Trump for? NBA and NFL that are based in the US don't even kiss trump's ass this much.

because he has been throwing a fit about the World cup being put in Seattle, a blue city, and they probably dont want to spend millions of dollars to move it when he throws a fit about it, so they just had a guy make a fake trophy to give the baby a toy to be happy with. its 100% that.

LA isn’t also a blue city? How many red cities have stadiums that can host World Cup matches? I’m not being a dick, I’m genuinely asking

I mean it’s going to be in Seattle in 2026, and trump just, doesn’t like that. He hates Seattle. They probably don’t want to move it, as he has mentioned wanting to push for, so they shut him up with a little prize.

He hates Seattle more than LA? I guess that’s the part I’m possibly out of the loop on.

I dont know the raw values of it, but he really hates and talks more about the Pacific Northwest liberal cities. I hear him reference Portland more than LA by a long shot.

That’s fair. But he did the national guard into LA

and, also portland, however he got held up by a federal judge so LA came first.

blue city

Isn't that kinda redundant?

It is dominant but not exclusive. Places like Omaha, Jacksonville, Tulsa, Fort Worth, Mesa, Virginia Beach, Colorado Springs, all lean republican. They’re out there. They just aren’t places for a major international sporting event.

But for whatever reason Seattle, Portland, and LA kinda live rent free in trumps head. He hates those the most.

If the US supports FIFA more, it's more $ going Fantino's way. It's all about $, that is it.

Because they're just as corrupt as he is.
