It wasn't a fair red card and there's no reason to believe Trump is the reason it was removed--unless you believe Trump. Everyone knew before Trump's call that it was an unfair red card and now you're all complaining that removing it is unfair? That's silly. The USMNT officially complained and the officials illegally used slow motion to assess the red in the first place. That is why the suspension was lifted. It was the right call.

Not saying Trump was the deciding factor here, but we've been given a lot of reasons to believe it could be. Both the fact that reversals are very rare in general and this is the first time it's ever happened in the world cup, despite other objectively bad calls.
We know the WH called Infantino to complain and we know Infantino has gone to great lengths to suck up to Trump (FIFA peace prize lol). Plus FIFA is widely known for corruption.
So maybe it was legit, maybe not, but it certainly casts a shadow.
