Trump Allegedly Intervened with FIFA to Reverse Red Card for US Player

What was said

"Donald thinks he's all powerful. So here he calls up an official at this corrupt organization FIFA that gave him the FIFA peace prize and says, 'Hey, I want you to remove the red card on this player and they do it. They do it. They bow down to him.' And so to Donald, this is just further proof that in fact he alone is qualified to be president and uh he is the state."

Trump reportedly called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to request a review of US striker Folarin Balogun's red card suspension, and FIFA took the unprecedented step of reversing the one-match ban. UEFA called the decision incomprehensible and unjustifiable, while Belgium's football association appealed. Johnston argues this demonstrates Trump's belief in his unlimited power and represents corruption at the international level.
