FIFA says 🍊💩 will be at the WC final on Sunday.

Leavitt told reporters that she did not know which team Trump was supporting in the final.
^^
“I’m sure he’ll have a fun answer for you,” she told reporters.
Leavitt also said Trump will attend a Fifa reception at Trump Tower in New York City on Friday. **Soccer’s governing body opened an office in the building last year.

**Well, of course they did.

No one in England cares now. And those that do will support Spain 😀

Not. Holding. My. Breath. In. Anticipation.

He might turn up wearing a ref jersey with a whistle in his hand.... on a golf cart.

It will be a Trump golf cart of course, that he will charge $1million a minute for. And he will have a team of SS following him as he whizzes from end to end. They will be dressed in black suits, and also be on Trump (TM) golf carts.

I imagine it will look like a cross between fitba and elephant polo.

Trump of course will score the winning goal, and claim the cup.

Of course. Because when Trump wins the world cup, he will be preventing a war between Spain and Argentina.

Hey, I think we are starting to get his logic :-)

Sigh. I lasted about 1 minute then change to the new episode of season 3 of 'Trigger Point' (no spoilers please, it's still got new episodes to drop). Pretty sad when you'd rather watch fictional people be blown to bits by bombs that hear a not-my-POTUS speak.

But I have the jist. Chyna, 'unsafe' elections, tampering, fraud, illegal voters, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, etc etc. All a set up for trying to invalidate the midterms (which he doesn't have the power to do). Or worse, trying to change the interpretation of National Emergencies Act to allow him to nationalize or 'postpone' the midterms. As it is, I think all he can do is try and 'influence' MAGA election officials to 'investigate fraud', since has given them fake grounds, if any Dems, other liberal, or non-MAGA GOP candidates win office.

This is going to be a 'HYUGE' mess in those states and we probably won't have the final results in those midterms for months. And since the Constitution specifies that new terms are slated to begin and the current terms end on 3 Jan 2027, the unanswered question is what will happen to those seats then? Will they just be empty till the bullshit is over?

I wonder if he realizes that the 2020 election was 'supervised' by his own administration? Maybe he needs to investigate and then fully exonerate himself.

MsJinks · 17/07/2026 16:27

Can he stop the game if an Argentina player gets carded? Get him uncarded?

Does anyone at all even want him there?

I don’t really follow football though saw England quarter and semi final games. I am totally invested in Spain winning though now.

Given the rude and insulting TS remarks about Spain and the Spanish PM in response to Spain not kowtowing to 🍊💩's will over Iran, I would expect things to be a tad frosty in the 'royal box' or whatever the US equivalent is.

PM Sanchez is due to attend as well as the Spanish royal family, including King Felipe, Queen Letizia and daughters.

As luck would have it, I appear to have some popcorn left over for an event I've cancelled on Sunday evening.

I'll be nibbling on it in the coming months. Where will the 2026 equivalent of Fort Sumter turn out to be ?

Ohh - will they all sit with the orange one - how awful for them!

Starmer maybe had a lucky escape - though maybe he’d have felt free to say what he thought! Seems Spanish PM does anyhow - I’m hoping Burnham emulates that approach tbh. I do know it’s not that easy btw.

I read something that Traders were going to be given quicker access to truth social statement for fee and it something to do with statements that affected trade/share prices.

Hopefully someone can explain it better.

Something tells me they won't be sitting in the same box.

There really isn't a 'royal box' equivalent per se since we don't really have 'national' stadiums. If a big enough VIP attends a game they usually get a VIP box at the 50 yard line (Am football), behind home plate (baseball), or mid-court (basketball). If you look at stadiums/arenas here you can see a row of glassed in boxes usually towards the top of the stands.

I've sat in a few for baseball and one for basketball and they can be lots of fun, but I wouldn't necessarily consider them the 'best seats in the house', mostly to me because you simply aren't one of the crowd out there cheering like mad. But you do have climate control, a bar, and catering so there are some 'compensations.

I'm sure that Scrotus will make sure he's in the equivalent of the 50 yard line box and that the Spanish Royals are at least one box over so he can say "I have a better seat than they do".

SerendipityJane · 17/07/2026 20:00

Yet.

Evenstar · 17/07/2026 20:10

@SerendipityJane he’s probably sent a truckload of stick on gold tat from Temu to redecorate the box

DuncinToffee · 17/07/2026 20:14

Trump will probably doze off before the first quarter break and maybe wake up for the half time show.

Yes this is football I am talking about Confused

I wouldn't worry about a diplomatic incident as Trump will sleep through most of it.

It's ugly AF.
Sorry don't know how to link

Llttledrummergirl · 17/07/2026 22:40

As they are both Spanish speaking teams, I vote the whole event is conducted in Spanish.

I may not be able to understand much, but it will send Trump further down the rabbit hole. He would be incandescent.

LeftBoobGoneRogue · 17/07/2026 23:40

On Sunday Trump will be supporting Argentina because Millei is his mate. He doesn’t like Spain because they would let the US use their air bases for the Iran War. He said that they were a terrible partner and a wasted cause.

LeftBoobGoneRogue · 17/07/2026 23:44

If Trump gets hold of the World Cup trophy he will probably keep it like he did in August 2025 when Chelsea won the Club World Cup. Another had to be made to give to Chelsea.

'Trump threatens increased tariffs for wildfire smoke that has 'unnecessarily invaded' U.S.'

I feel like our response should be that we will keep setting fires and blowing all the smoke at the US until they remove tariffs and recommit to CUSMA. Rational responses haven't been particularly effective so why not fight fire with fire? There are 600+ fires in the US right now and one of out firefighters just died in Colorado. Maybe we should not help, and keep ours at home?

A swift pivot to say that KOC oil refinery is on fire in Kuwait after a barrage of attacks this morning. The last few days shows that Iran has lots of weapons/drones still.
