Trump on the US competing against Canada and Mexico at the World Cup amid a possible trade war: "I think it's gonna make it more exciting. Tension is a good thing."

All that matters to this empty on the inside man. Is that everyone is talking about him. Everyone is fearing him. He cares nothing about anyone but himself
He thinks everything is a TV show. When he says "tension is a good thing" he means for his "image" or "ratings". In fact when he did that horrible press conference where they ambushed Pres. Zelensky, Trump even said on camera, "This will make great television".
This is how he ran his “reality” tv show. Encouraging people to stab each other in the back, while he kicked back and giggled. This is his vision for America.
I've been an avid World Cup watcher since 1990. This time, I will not be watching any games played in the US or in which they are a participant. I hate that Trumplestilskin is making me hate so much. 😢
What this idiot doesn’t realize is that if he starts a fucking war with Canada and sends troops in to Mexico there won’t be a World Cup. There won’t be an Olympics ..
President Trump said his administration could impose reciprocal tariffs on Canada for dairy products and lumber as early as Friday amid a mounting trade war between the two nations.
I’m just going to be thankful it’s our men’s team competing and not our women’s. We need a world wide impressment right now. On top of all the other ones.
Not competing, jointly hosting the World Cup. I’m sure the tensions between our countries will really add a wonderful dynamic to the World Cup. Trump is a fool.
The USA will barely make it to the knockout stage if they do. 😆 🤣 we all know its rigged for Fifa to gift Messi and Argentina another world cup.. again.
Why does there always have to be competition? When a person is stable and has self respect from experiences with positive results then that person doesn't require continous accolade and/or attention. Grow up Trump...your chaotic brain is 'burning out' obvious with the daily reversed decisions.
Keeping everyone on edge and constantly worried is exactly what he's going for, and I'm not giving it to him. I know I will outlive this man child by decades and watch his empire crumble under scrutiny and laughter.
Not this type of tension, absolutely. Now if it's tension because both teams are good and it's fun banter back and forth? Yes that is good tension. Not that Trump is such a bastard many Americans are rooting against us including myself.
This actually is the best team the men perhaps ever had. Ironically it will be at a time when many Americans will be rooting against them for political reasons.
It might be the best the US has ever had but it's dogshit by European and South American standards.
It helps that the rest of the world doesn't declare themselves 'world champions' at sports that nobody else plays. Like baseball because it's boring as fuck.
Well, as a Spanish-American, I can say my national sides are both among the best on the planet and dogshit. I also like handball and baseball. 😀 But, yeah, you’re spot on. (I think the team the USA brought to South Korea was among the best they’ve fielded even though I had to lose TWICE in the QFs)
That German player got away with a handball (you can see his hand and arm move to block the ball and stop the equalizer, so happy Brazil beat them in the Wc final
that is the worst part, like I want to root for the USMNT, but the politics might make me lose some joy in watching them (although Poch is still a legend)
That does not affect me that much, but it is mostly the 2 American Flags and Sunglasses that I had when the USMNT played, now with Trump as president, I feel like I cannot bring those out anymore
I’m also looking forward to western euro supporters making the trek to Kansas City to support their sides. I want to document their reactions when they see a stadium plunked in the middle of nowhere surrounded by 80,000 acres of concrete parking lots and no public transportation.
Also just realized Trump gets the 250th “birthday” of the US and the World Cup on his reign. Holy shit, if the free world don’t hate us now, I guarantee they will!
Wrong! This makes the games worse and more dangerous. The booing at the National Anthems before NHL games is sad. I totally get why Canada is upset and support them. Our biggest allies deserve better from the USA.
Unfortunately FIFA won't do this because they like to lick his boots too, but they should really just have the games in Canada and Mexico, and bypass the US.
Gianni Infantino, the guy who keeps making football a dirtier sport than ever. Fucking Swiss cunt neutral as ever as long as blood money makes it in his hands. Fuck him and fuck his Israeli ties.
Other forms of excitement include not knowing whether:
Soc. sec. checks will arrive
There will be a flu vaccine for '26
We'll invade a bunch of countries
We'll have jobs in a month
Banks will fail
Food prices will double
There will be an election
"Tension is a good thing. That's why I put the whole world on edge. I get off on it, now that Melania only engages with me by paid speaking engagement."
whatever comes out of this mfer's mouth stopped being funny years ago, even sardonically.. only thing left is to grit your teeth for four years and hope the bigot/fascist/racist wannabes who re-voted for him get outnumbered then when someother asshole templating this imbecile stands for the GOP.

Friendly competition is great, this is not that.
Oh wait. As the brilliant commentators on @cnn.com are always saying (ad nauseam) “two things can be true at same time”
no tension with the russian team tho'!!!
The world cup is exciting enough without his bullshit.
I wouldn't be surprised if people refuse to attend any of the matches hosted in the US.

Countries should boycott this World Cup.
