Trump threatens countries that don’t support North American World Cup bid

I remain amazed by Donald’s pathological need to threaten people into compliance.

I mean, who in their right mind would actually tweet this: “The U.S. has put together a STRONG bid w/ Canada & Mexico for the 2026 World Cup. It would be a shame if countries that we always support were to lobby against the U.S. bid. Why should we be supporting these countries when they don’t support us (including at the United Nations)?”

I mean, we’re not even talking about something like a world nuclear treaty or something that even matters in a substantive fashion. It’s about a freaking soccer tournament.

But everything for Trump is about You Will Respect/Fear Me, or I Will Make You Respect/Fear Me. It makes some of the behind-the-scenes accusations seem all the more plausible.

(It’s also worth noting that the only reason Donald felt he had to tweet this is that, despite, yes, a strong group bid with Canada and Mexico, the major contender, Morocco, is getting a lot of support because of Trump’international activities, including the Muslim-ish Ban.)

  1. +Peter Lemken as soon as the Drumpf speaks into a camera and in a coherent way explains the offside rule in football without a teleprompter.

    This week, he proved he can't even coherently explain what he got his wife as a birthday present (he babbled about being too busy, while ranting on a phone interview for 30 minutes).

  2. +Donnie Adonis And Naimat should go back to Afghanistan, why, exactly?

    Hint 1: The fact he mentions US activity in Afghanistan doesn't mean he's from there. Hell, I'm from Chicago originally, and agree with Naimat that the US has a lot of apologizing to do regarding its use of military power….

    Hint 2: He appears to be a Pakistani currently in England, so going "back" to Afghanistan wouldn't make much sense..

    Hint 3: Saying "Go back to <wherever>" rather than actually addressing the person's point is a really good way to out yourself as a racist or bigot.

  3. +Dave Hill The last time that phrase was used, there was a comeback six years later…and then a huge downfall six years after that.

    Oh, we were talking about sports bids, and the expectation that a country would support a sports bid outside of its region.

    This a few years after the Olympics eliminated baseball. (Hint: it wasn't because the Japanese and Cubans played it.)
