The American World Cup has been a smashing success to date. While most of the competition has been surprisingly gripping, the best story has been the willingness of local communities to embrace foreign teams. I haven’t seen any stories about hate or hooliganism, either; the fans have been patriotic in a colorful and completely inoffensive way.
It’s a long way from Trump and his comments about many of the countries represented in the World Cup, to say nothing of his position on birthright citizenship. He’s supposed to be presenting the trophy at the end; wouldn’t it be great if he has to give it to a nation he despises? Like, say, Spain?
He’s probably rooting for Argentina.
