On December 5th of this year, another farce will be played out at the #WorldCup2026 draw in Washington DC.
Background:
- #FIFA has been facing criticism over holding the World Cup in the USA because Trump's Gestapo/ICE troops are terrorizing any non-white individuals. How many fans will be comfortable traveling to that environment?
- Trump has been threatening to move World Cup matches from any city that doesn't bend the knee to him. FIFA is politely telling the White House that matches can't be moved at this point, and please stop the rhetoric because it only makes teams and fans nervous.
- Yesterday, FIFA announced a new "Peace Prize" that will be awarded on December 5th.
The FIFA Peace Prize is, IMO, a bribe or suck-up strategy to influence Trump, who is obviously still hurt over his missed Nobel Peace Prize. Once it's awarded to Trump - very, very likely - it further cements FIFA's reputation as a trash organization.

Trump's mad hubris has been coming fast and furious.
On Air Force One, next to a grinning and bobbing Sen. Lindsey Graham,
Trump doubled down on the notion that the failed state of Cuba would be next to fall,
finding time to threaten Colombia, Mexico, and even Greenland.
This isn’t evidence of great power.
But it is more than just the egotistical impulse of an unchecked imperial president.
It is a deliberate strategy that involves the gleeful destructio…

including his involvement in a leaked announcement of U.S. strikes on Yemen in March
and the chain of command behind U.S. strikes on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean.

A government lawyer told a judge during a court hearing stemming from the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota:
“What do you want me to do?
The system sucks.
This job sucks.
And I am trying every breath that I have so that I can get you what you need”.
