Trump gets INSTANT KARMA as WORLD CUP IMPLODES!!!

Donald Trump has turned the World Cup. into an absolute disaster when it comes. to ticket sales. FIFA is now facing. empty seats as 180,000. World Cup tickets hit the resale market. Additionally, FIFA booked tens of. thousands of hotel rooms in cities. hosting games like Kansas City where. we're seeing cancellations of up to 75%. like in Kansas City where the demand is. not there. We've seen the World Cup.

working with Donald Trump engage in. heinous visa restrictions against. referees and fans and team officials. We've been talking about how the. Somalian referee Omar Artan, who's like. the top African referee, he was banned. from the United States. He flew into the. US and he was turned away. I mean, we're. talking about like a world-renowned.

referee simply because he's from Somalia. and Donald Trump and the Trump regime. are a bunch of racists who hate. Somalians. They wouldn't let the. Somalian referee into the country. Also, in the past 24 hours, we learned that. the Trump regime revoked the ticket. allocation for the Iranian team saying. that Iran is not allowed to have any. tickets to give out to their fans. because that would be a violation of US. sanctions against Iran and Iran might.

utilize the tickets to promote terrorism. inside the United States. You've seen. how the Trump regime treated the. Senegalese team from Senegal when they. arrived. I mean, the Trump regime gave. them basically cavity searches and like. read them the Riot Act and just treated. them like absolute crap. When it came to. the Uzbekistan team when they showed up, I know, we're talking about World Cup. winning uh.

coaches and players and world-class. players. Formerly Italy captain. being searched like they're suspected. drug mules simply because they're from. Uzbekistan. Now, in the past 24 hours. you had Andrew Giuliani who is now who. he has been heading all FIFA operations. in the United States. He's Rudy. Giuliani's kid. He spoke with the. Atlantic Castle the sorry the Atlantic. Council and they were asking him about.

the decision to deny the Somali referee. Omar Artan entry for the United States. to be a referee you know to to be a. referee here and he goes it was for very. good reason. We want to avoid bad actors. basically implying that Omar Artan is. like a terrorist. That's I mean that's the level of racism. we're dealing with here. You'll play. this clip. >> There's a lot of talk abroad about how. the United States blocking the entry of. referees from Africa, Iranian coaching.

staff, national team fans. What are the. actual reasons for these measures and is. it a bureaucratic error? >> Sure, we'll we'll take these one by one. So, there's been one referee who has not. been admitted. and I can't go into the details what I. can tell you. high level is it was for very good. reason. I support that decision. I was. speaking directly with the secretary of. Homeland Security and the commissioner. of CBP.

on Sunday the days are blending together. a couple of days ago on this. and it was for very good reason that. ultimately this referee did not get in. the country. So, only one referee not. multiple. >> And then when it came to. the other officials and managers and. press members who have been denied uh, travel to the United States. And this is. at an unprecedented level. I mean, when. we talk about the World Cup in Russia, when we talk about the World Cup in. Qatar, they didn't do this stuff. The.

Trump regime is like next-level. repressive and authoritarian. Uh, Andrew Giuliani was asked about, uh, some of the. officials, managers, members of the. press who were denied from other. countries. Here's what he has to say. Play this clip. >> We've had 35 teams that have come into. the United States. No players, no. coaches have been denied. There have. been some officials that have been. denied, and for good reason. Again, we're striking that balance between. making sure that any bad actors that.

come into the country or try to come. into the country under the guise of the. World Cup will not get access to the. United States of America. >> You hear what he says? What? That other. countries are shipping in their. terrorists with the World Cup team? I. mean, this is such authoritarian, clownish behavior. And here he is when. he's asked about why you denied the. Iranian football team their ability to. have their coaches and managers and. staff and others who are part of the. team show up. Uh, Andrew Giuliani's.

like, "I can't tell you everything I. know, but basically they were a bunch of. terrorists." Is basically what he says. Here, play this clip. >> Uh, Iranian coaching staff, all the. Iranian coaching staff, uh, is coming in. There are some Iranian. officials that are not coming in. Again, for very good reason. Can't get into the. to the, um, particular particular on. that, but as you can imagine, there are. some people that claim that they are. coaches that may not be coaches. Um, and.

for the national team, uh, all 31. players have had their visas issued. 26. plus the five, uh, additional, uh, players as well. Um, they're going to be able to come into. the country the day before their match. They're basing in Tijuana, um, which is. about a 25 minute flight to Los Angeles. So, it'll be a real quick flight for. them to be able to to get up there. If. they were to drive up LA, it might take. 8 hours. So, I definitely recommend that. they end up end up flying. But, but.

they'll be able to get in. Look, the. president is is been clear on this one. and Secretary Rubio, I know, has made. multiple public statements just in the. last 6 weeks on this one that he wants. to make sure that they have every. opportunity to compete on a level. playing field here, while also making. sure. that people that are directly working, let's say, with the IRGC have no ability. to access the United States of America. And we are completely supportive of. that. >> Uh may I just show you for a second the.

difference between how Mexico is. greeting teams when they arrive versus. how the United States greets a team like. Senegal Senegal when it arrives? Here, play this clip right here. >> [music]. >> Here's something most people aren't told. about their credit score. It's not just. whether you pay your credit cards, it's.

when you pay them. I had no idea and. most people don't realize that either. But, Smart Credit's data experts. understand how credit bureaus operate. So, they created something called the. best pay down date built around how. credit reporting actually works. So, instead of guessing, you get a. personalized strategy that shows you. what to do and when to do it to help you. maximize your credit score. And that. matters because better credit can mean. lower payments and more money in your. pocket. And this is where it gets. interesting. You can see your full.

credit picture in one place, your score, what's affecting it, and if something. needs attention, you can take care of it. right there. So, before applying for. anything, a car, apartment, or. anything, it makes sense to start with. SmartCredit. Go to smartcredit.com/midas. and try it for just $1. You may be. surprised to see how many points. SmartCredit estimates that you can gain. I know I was. That's. smartcredit.com/midas. Results vary. Cancel anytime.

>> Yeah, and I'm hearing that the. Senegalese team really wants to boycott. at this point the World Cup at the you. know, they're they're but like the one. of the best teams in Africa. One of the. best teams out there right now. And you. know, I I'm hearing the team members. want to stand in solidarity with the. Somalian referee, uh Omar Artan, to show African unity. against you know, FIFA's like, "We're. open to everybody. FIFA for everybody.". Well, now Gianni Infantino and Donald.

Trump are clearly not making it for. everybody and they're making this. experience absolutely horrible. Going. back to where I started on this with the. ticket sales. So, 180,000 tickets still. available and get this. The tickets to the United. States-Paraguay game, there were still thousands of tickets. available for the US game. So, if you're. like, "Well, there aren't ticket sales for the Iran. game or this game.". Okay, there aren't ticket sales. there are still tickets available rather.

for US versus Paraguay. If you can't. sell out right away the US game in the. United States, there's something. seriously going wrong. And then you have the Trump regime. already pre-blaming. Europe and the WHO, the World Health. Organization, for Ebola outbreaks in the. United States. Here's how Alex. Eisenstadt of Axios puts it. Trump. administration pre-blames Europe for any.

World Cup Ebola. The Trump. administration, fearing that. international travel could accelerate. the spread of Ebola as the World Cup. hits America is pressuring Europe to. dramatically shift its strategy for. preventing infection, sources tell. Axios. Top Trump aides are frustrated. with Europe's limited travel. restrictions and wanted to abandon the. World Health Organization's Ebola. playbook in favor of Washington's rules. They say it's tighter rules. No, the. you pulled out of the World Health. Organization. So, the Trump regime.

claims that the WHO. which the United States pulled out of. The Trump pulled the US out of the WHO, but now we blame the WHO for which we. pulled out of claiming the WHO failed to. immediately report the outbreak and. misled the world by not encouraging. countries to impose travel bans and. broader closures. Okay, so the United. States was a leading member of WHO, you. pulled out and now you want to blame the. WHO for the work that you claim the WHO.

wasn't doing. That's how pathetic this. Trump regime is. It's like when they. blame Biden for the screwworm outbreak. when the Trump regime cut screwworm. detection. You cut Ebola detection. You. gutted the CDC, you gutted USAID, you. removed the US from the WHO and Ebola. detection and they go, "Well, Biden did. No, Biden didn't do it. You You You are. doing it. You You're You're the one. doing it all. Let me share with you what.

we're learning about Iran and Iran's. team not getting its normal allocation. Let's play this clip right here. >> Well, in in the history of the World. Cup, I'm not aware of of anything like. this happening. Certainly not in in. recent tournaments. This morning that. their entire allocation of tickets have. been removed. Um and you know, that's after people. have spent huge amount of money to. travel to get to games and Iranians on. the ground who have bought the tickets. who can't get there. You know, and it's.

a huge sporting disadvantage for one of. the teams to not be allowed to have any. fans in there. So, it was a it was a. shocking development. Um. FIFA have eventually said after a long. time today that they are talking to Iran. to try to find the way around this. Uh and it seems to be a US government. issue and it's there's some talk that. it's to do with financial controls. rather than uh um. visa issues or anything like that, but. no one's saying clearly from the US. government why this has happened. We all.

knew that Iran in the US was going to be. troublesome or problematic because of. what's going on in the world, but uh. it this this is it in action, I guess. And you know, extraordinarily. one of FIFA's referees, one of the best. referees in Africa, has turned away and. sent home to Somalia because he he he's. he didn't wasn't given the visa. I mean, and and FIFA have just said, "Nothing to. do with us. That's all down to the. government." I mean, it is. extraordinary. This is one of the. world's best referees coming to the.

World Cup, and they said, "No, you can't. come in.". Uh it it is it it's just it's. head-shaking, really. >> And while fans are suffering, while. football or in the US soccer is. suffering, what's Donald Trump doing. with FIFA? Well, as the New York Times. has reported earlier, for the for the. past year, FIFA has leased an office on. the 17th floor of New York Trump Tower. that has sat all but empty. The rent. goes to Donald Trump's family business,

but soccer officials say the space sits. largely idle. More corruption, more. direct payments being funneled directly. to Donald Trump and Trump's family for a. fake idle office, or so it seems from. this article. The article by the New. York Times is called A Year's-Long. Effort to Woo Trump Culminates with the. World Cup. Gianni Infantino, the FIFA. president, has unabashedly courted the. president's favor. Soccer officials.

privately asked, "Who really benefits. answer Donald Trump financially? Gianni. Infantino financially, but clearly not. the game." For the past year, FIFA, the. governing body of international soccer, has leased an office on the 17th floor. of New York Trump Tower that has sat all. but empty. The rent goes to Trump's. family business, but soccer officials. say the space sits largely idle. Paying. rent to Trump was the choice of Gianni. Infantino, FIFA's president, who has. made being close to Trump his top.

priority. He's lavished the president. with praise, trophies, and a medal, making pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago and even. the Melania documentary premiere. Then. it goes on to say, "Mr. Infantino failed. to woo the Biden administration," former. government officials said, "but he found. a receptive ear in Trump, who calls him. the king of soccer." A decade ago, soccer executives were terrified to. travel to the United States, fearing. they'd be arrested for corruption. Now, Mr. Infantino is an Oval Office regular.

Corruption marry corruption. Now, also, the costs of everything are. accelerating, obviously the ticket. prices. are now subject of a criminal and civil. investigation by many state attorneys. general for inflating these ticket. prices and screwing over the fans. Um. but also, very basic travel right now is. like unaffordable. Like a very basic. subway ride from like that that runs. pretty short, you're talking about 80.

bucks, 120 bucks. You see the cities. that are hosting the World Cup are now. saddled with this burden and have. massive deficits. The cities are getting. crushed. And Gianni Infantino and Donald. Trump are like, "We're going to make you. so rich." And now the cities are. suffering and they have to make up the. money. They want FIFA to pay and. subsidize the delta between what the. travel is now going to cost the cities. that have to be passed on to consumers.

kind of like tariffs. It's kind of like. a tariff if you will. So, the cities want FIFA to pay the tariff. in essence and FIFA wants to impose the. cost on the city. When FIFA said, "You're all going to get so rich." And. not only are they not getting rich, the demand right now for tourism in the. cities hosting the World Cup is less. than it would be in a prior year without. the World Cup. Demand is down. year over year.

because no one wants to travel to the. United States with ICE and Border Patrol. threatening everybody with the United. States attacking immigrants. No one. wants to show up. Everything Trump touches dies and I. think this is a perfect example of it. right here. We'll keep you posted as we learn more. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million.
