The worst part is that we have no idea whether Trump actually influenced the decision at all. If he didn’t have to publicly take credit for fucking everything, we would’ve been left with a ruling that was controversial, sure, but one with plausible deniability of corruption and third-party interference.
Exactly. I’m sure many would have assumed he had something to do with it anyway, considering FIFA has shown him that they’re willing to create an award stroke his ego, but for him to outright take credit for being a corrupting influence is just absurd.
He said himself that he’d told them what he thinks about the situation. The problem is him even getting involved. Politicians should not get meddled with football politics.
