    This is probably worthy of a thread because of the craziness that has happened and is about to happen.

    In today's news, Trump is expected to make himself the center of attention at FIFA's Draw at the Kennedy Center.

    FIFA is expected to award Trump the first ever "FIFA Peace Prize." The prize is awarded on behalf of all global soccer fans to someone who FIFA says has taken “exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace and by doing so have united people across the world.”

    Monica Crowley said he is warning blue cities about crime and talking to FIFA about moving matches out of blue cities. By crime, I'm guessing he's mostly concerned about anti-Trump protests throughout the summer.

    FYI: the largest Trump-voting cities:

    Jacksonville
    Boise
    Oklahoma City
    Fort Wayne
    Tulsa
    Greenville
    Mesa
    Bakersfield
    Corpus Christi
    Colorado Springs

    Largest cities with a Republican mayor:

    Dallas
    Fort Worth
    Oklahoma City
    Fresno
    Mesa
    Virginia Beach
    Miami
    Bakersfield

    You could build a strong minor baseball league out of those.

    In addition, DHS will not rule out ICE raids at matches.

    What? Is this about soccer and fake awards ? Not sure anyone care. Where is the POTUS that is working and fighting for me, instead of some fake awards.

    iirc from youth league soccer: blue was 1st, red was 2nd, green was "thanks for showing up"

    I didn't realize Trump was there, he had minimal tv time, but them having a Village People cover band playing YMCA makes much more sense now

    The FIFA Peace Prize. SMFH.

    To mollify this drool-cup nut job so he doesn't have senior nationalist moments vis a vis the World Cup.

    Yall spent the past 4 years b****ing about DEI but then cheer on Trump getting some bullshit made up trophy to please his ego. Literally the definition of DEI

    The entire sports world is clowning on Trump. You aint a alpha male if you need fake participation trophies to please your ego. You just come off as a insecure b**** my dude

    Pretty sure it's not a made up trophy, seemed pretty real to me. Trump has earned it tbh. He has saved many lives. I don't really like what Trump is doing, I think he has been a major let down but FIFA is right.... Congrats Mr President...
