Geez everything Trump touches really does turn to sh*t!

I’ll admit I’m not that much of a soccer fan, much like hockey or other Olympic sports I get into every few years when the World Cup roles around. Well this year I watched us field our best team likely ever. For the most part me looked aggressive, crisp and unlike what we’ve become accustomed to seeing from American soccer. Then the red card happened and the orange one just had to interject himself into the situation. He just had to do it. You just knew that Trump couldn’t NOT do something. Then tonight we looked terrible, not just the lesser team but a team completely overmatched and lost. Thr Trump touch strikes again. It was a good run men, I enjoyed watching while it lasted.

It's like a parent on the sidelines of a football match yelling constantly at the refs. It distracts and demeans the whole game.

The US team was screwed whether they won or lost - if they'd won, the win would have been tainted. Everything Trump touches turns to shit.

By the way, Balogun is one of those despised anchor babies - born in the US only because his mother was too pregnant to fly home.
