Trump’s FIFA PLAN Backfires IN HIS FACE!!

Donald Trump's FIFA World Cup plan. backfired in his face. His attempt to. infect hate and division has backfired. as the people from countries across the. world have united and pushed back. against his despicable behavior. As. Donald Trump has attacked the cities of. Seattle and Los Angeles, what happened? The cities of Seattle and Los Angeles. stood strong, stood firm, and showed. what America is really all about. I find. it so fascinating that when we have.

people from all over the world visiting. the United States, the places that they. love are the exact cities and states. that Donald Trump hates the most. Donald. Trump tried to infect the games with. hate as he did everything possible to. beat down on the Iranian football team. or here in the United States soccer. team. He wouldn't let the Iranian team. stay at United States hotels after their. games and made them go right back to.

Tijana. He wouldn't allow their staff. and a lot of their coaches uh and their. local media and families to join them. The Trump regime called the Iranian. players agents of the IRGC and said that. in essence they should be treated like. enemy combatants, if you will. But the. Iranian players and their fans and their. fans at home and those who were watching. the games across the Middle East, I. think showed the world also a very.

different side, the accurate side, a. cultural side that the Trump regime. tries to uh not show. You know, the. Trump regime talks about, you know, the. Iranian people and the Iranian. civilization in some of the crulest of. terms, but what we saw was a world. united against Donald Trump's hate. And. Donald Trump, while he fers in. Washington DC and has the worst American. 250 uh fair I've ever seen, I've been.

doing videos on that, and humiliates. itself. When you put the power to the. people, when we talk about people to. people, what we want to do is we want to. love, we want peace, we want happiness, and we don't want this hate being spewed. by people like Donald Trump out there. Let me just go through some of the. receipts that we've got right here. Although Iran didn't make it into the. round of 32, I thought it was a very bad. call [clears throat] as well where they. called it off sides after Iran scored.

the game-winning goal. Um, the Iran team. handled the loss with dignity and grace. The Islamic Republic of Iran. Broadcasting Network writes, "None of. the conditions were met and Iran's. football team bid farewell to the 2026. World Cup. Despite the obstacles created. by the US government, the players played. with great spirit. We thank those who. supported Iran and stadiums and in their. hearts." Here you have the video as well. of Donald Trump and the Trump regime.

forcing the Iranian players after their. last game uh to uh leave the United. States right away and arrive in Tijana. at 4:00 a.m. I mean, as the Iranian. embassy in Kenya says, um this is the. most unfair and shameful behavior in a. World Cup history. We're talking about. sports here. Even when there's war, even. when there's conflict, this is not how a. host country is supposed to behave. And. it is so utterly shameful. And if this.

was any other country being treated this. way by a host country, it would not be. tolerated at all. The double standards. are so obvious. Let let me just share. with you what the Iranian fans looked. like as they were cheering in the game. We posted this on the Midas Touch. Network because again, you get a. perspective of Iranian fans that you. just don't see if you just listen to. corporate news here in the United. States. Iran soccer fans react as they. watch the FIFA World Cup 2026 match. between Belgium and Iran at a cinema in.

Thrron uh last week. I mean, look at. that. Look at the fans and the joy and. the happiness right there. I'll show you. video right here as well. Iranians. uniting behind their national team in. Thran. Let's play this clip right here. [screaming]. >> [cheering]. >> You had Palestinians gathering in.

central Gaza Strip to watch a live. broadcast of the game between Egypt and. Iran as football offered a moment of. respit amid the ongoing genocide there. The screening drew families and football. fans to a public space where supporters. followed one of the tournament's most. anticipated group stage matches. I mean, look at the fans right there. Look how. incredible it was right there. Really. great to see. Um, Iranian fans at the.

Seattle Statement in Washington also. brought with them photographs of Iranian. uh, women and children uh, who were and. girls who were killed in Manab by the. United States in the act of unmitigated. war crimes committed by uh, the Trump. regime, which is so utterly uh, disgraceful. Let me show you this video. right here. An Iranian father uses a. handmade cardboard football pitch to. help his visually impaired son.

experience the Iran Egypt match through. touch. Here, play this clip right here. >> [applause]. [laughter].

[laughter]. [laughter]. >> Then the Iranian team uh leaving some. incredible messages in the locker rooms. when they left. When they left uh. Seattle, for example, here was the. handwritten note that they left despite. all of the way the horrible ways the. United States was treating this team. You know, these athletes left the. following message. We come from Iran,

from a land that for thousands of years. has a place and honor above victory. Then it has # Madav. For us, football is. not only a competition for results. It. is a test of character. Perhaps points. can be won in many ways, but respect. cannot. Perhaps a team can advance from. a group, but only through fairness and. honor can one stand tall before history. Fair play is not just a line in football. rules. It is the soul of the game. Thank.

you, Seattle, for your hospitality. And. thank you to all Iranians who gave their. hearts, their voices, and their whole. being for Iran. Iran always standing. tall. Hashero when they left the Sofi. Stadium in Los Angeles after one of its. games. This was the statement that Iran. left in the locker room there. From the. ancient Persia of thousands of years ago. to the civilized Iran of today. The. spirit of Iran remains alive and.

steadfast. #168 #Manab. We came to Los. Angeles with pride, competed with honor, and leave with dignity. Thank you, Los. Angeles, for your hospitality. And thank. you to every Iranian who gave their. heart and voice and soul for Iran. throughout these 180 minutes. May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among. all nations. May peace, respect, and. friendship among all nations prevail. I'll share this with you as well. You.

know, the White House was stealing the. video footage of Aaron Lavine. Aaron. Lavine, a reporter over there. Um, as. Matthew Fob says, the Seattlehating. White House stole a Seattle journalist. video to promote America. Maybe they. should steal some paint for their pool. instead. And what the White House did to. try to spread their White House. propaganda is stole the video footage of. a Seattle reporter who loves Seattle,

who shows what a beautiful city it is, what a beautiful state Washington is, the state of Washington that is. Um, and. how the fans united and rejoiced. Now. remember, this was the city that the. Trump regime all of last year and. whenever Donald Trump speaks calls a. hole city and says they're horrible. and that it's war tor. No, it's a. beautiful city. Los Angeles is a. beautiful city. America can be such a. beautiful place, but the Trump regime is.

a poison. Donald Trump is a vile virus. with this MAGA movement that is here to. cause harm and to divide us. But I want. to show you how beautiful it looked when. you saw what Seattle really looked like. And then we heard from the Iranian. players and you know the Iranian players. were being asked all of these questions. like what's your view about gay people? What's your view about LGBTQ? You know, and the Iranian the Iranian captain um. uh TMI uh was like um I respect him. I.

respect all people. I respect gay. people, straight people, trans people. I. respect I respect human beings. And you. know, and it's just so fascinating that. that that's what he's like, that's what. you're asking me. And watch his response. here. Play this clip. >> But we respect all of the LGBT people. That's the own idea. It's not about us. We are here to play football. We respect. all of those guys. And yeah, if you have.

question about the game, I will answer. >> And then Iran's TMI called out FIFA and. the US. And he did it though in such a. humble way. Here, play this clip. >> Who have to solve this problem with for. us? Who? FIFA. I don't know. USA, I. don't know who. Just mention one name. for me. >> What? What? >> I think I'm right. >> Can Infantino do more to solve this. problem? >> Who? >> Infantino. >> I I as I said the Infantino first game. came and said we will solve every. problem here. But actually people do.

nothing. Our logistic doesn't here. Yeah. You see. we don't have media. Our media. Where is. our media? You can check. No media here. No media. No. I don't know kitman's. No. No one. Vice president, president this. >> And he talks about the people in Mexico. and how humble they were and how them. people in Mexico treated the Iran team. Right. here. Play this clip. We.

>> always have to travel to Mex Tijuana. We. love people of the Mexic. We love. Tijuana. It's so good. They are so. humble people. We love them. But as a. professional players, professional. competition. It's not right. Yeah. It's it's about. our opinion because now we have traveled. again to going to Tijuana. and he. describes how the World Cup has just. been a disaster and how he's been. treated. Play this clip.

>> The disaster world cup disaster. point of charge. of. uh [sighs]. I mean FIFA they have to solve every. problem here but unfortunately they. couldn't solve since the beginning. Let's say Infantino came to our gen. first game and he said it's just the. beginning but it's group stage finish. tomorrow and we don't have our logistic.

people here they don't have a visa. how possible we always have to. >> and he talks about how really with the. situation has really not been fair at. all here playing this clip. >> it's about our opinion because now we. have traveled again to going to Tijuana. again so without recovery without. nothing. is not fair. But by our opinion is not fair. If if is. it fair for the FIFA, okay, good to.

them. But it's not fair. Who who wants. to help us? Who? We don't have recovery. We don't have uh any logistic people. here to help us. You always complain. about those things. But no one help. No, >> you complained about sorry. >> about the travel but the review two. straight games with the V by a cimeter.

When you when you watch the replay, your. thoughts on the V taking away two goals. in two games. >> That's about the football. >> Sure. But we we complain about outside. the football because which is the. details important in the football. as you know recovery is the important. things and a small details affect the. football. >> and then you have Ramen Reson who you. know here's what he says impossible to. overstate the contrast between the class.

and dignity exhibited by the Iranian. team and the cruel and disgusting. behavior. of other people. Like let let me just. show with you what he was saying over. here. Um here here he is talking about. they didn't make it. They didn't get. through the round. But just watch how he. talks about the game of football and his. love of the sport. Play this clip.

Now, now let me be very clear. why I think it's important to make this. video is not say, "Oh, do you support. them overall?". What what I want to show and showcase. more than anything is that.

we the people. care about people. As I said, it's so. important that we are empathetic with. our fellow Americans, but people. throughout the world. And what I find. when I travel, although I haven't. traveled much since launching the Midas. Touch Network because I spend a lot of. time doing videos and running this. network, but when I did travel, when I. would go around the world, I would see. people of all different races, ethnicities, religions, and when you.

would break bread with people and would. you spend time with people um you know, whether you're spending people in Asia. or Africa or Europe or Central America. or Mexico or South America, the. Caribbean, Wherever people want to find connections. and bonds with people and all too. frequently it's the governments and it's. these malignant narcissistic almost. always men. Let's be real. these. authoritarian men who are miserable,

disgusting people who want to use their. time on earth to accumulate all this. power for themselves and this and to. divide us as people. But left people, we. want to hang out with each other. We. want to break bread with each other. We. want to care for each other and care. about a better planet and a better. earth. That to me is the message of this. video as well. And so while you have. people like Donald Trump who want to be. divisive, who want to hate, what's.

actually been incredible was to see how. people treated people. despite Trump infect trying to infected. with all of his crap. That gives me. hope. That gives me hope. And to not buy. into these simple propagistic narratives. by these authoritarian regimes, including the United States. authoritarian regime right now. Let's be. real. Thanks for watching.
