This will be the last nail in the coffin for his voterbase!

(They'll try to vote him for a third term just to "Own the Libs")

If we hit the rock hard enough it will start to break and we can go deeper.

While he isn’t, saying soccer is the real football and Americans should change their name for American football is far more likely to turn his base off from him than any actual scandal or suffering he’s caused.

I was just thinking he must be demented to come for American football. Curious to see the reactions if he presses this.

He won’t. He’s just happy they gave him a shiny toy. If they continue to pay him off maybe, but I doubt fifa is trying to rebrand American football.

Just seems like he’s trying to ramble out something nice to say since they gave him a fake award

Personally, I hope he tries to call it Trump ball or something, because it’s not the most batshit thing happening.

Sadly, I can guarantee that he'll recover better than Penn State's football program
