President Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to discuss the red card given to Team USA’s Folarin Balogun during Wednesday night’s game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, an person familiar with the conversation told The Hill. Trump later cheered the reversal, calling it an “injustice.”

FIFA said its independent panel overturned the red card suspension for Monday’s game.

      Well to be honest, because we made laws to make it so. If he had been born a plank of wood, and never spoke, walked, or did anything. He would be a billionaire today. We made bankruptcy laws to make sure the rich couldn’t become poor by accident. Set bankruptcy at 10% of ones net worth, and every billionaire would fight it. Say you can sell a company was worth 1.4 billion, you can declare bankruptcy and it will cost pennies comparatively. The people who lose their houses are struggling, the companies don’t lose anything but a oops.

      Because half of Trump voters still think his family did not gain wealth from his presidencies.

      When your voting base is this ignorant, corruption and deregulation festers, feeding into the ignorance/corruption cycle ad nauseum.
