Trump goes AWOL at the World Cup
"One key player has been conspicuous by his absence at the FIFA World Cup.
No, not Cristiano Ronaldo. Donald J. Trump.
Pre-tournament fears that the confrontational MAGA U.S. president would trample on the soccer jamboree have, so far, proved largely unfounded after the first 11 days of competition.
Aside from persistent complications surrounding the Iran squad’s entry and exit to the U.S. for games, and the ban on a Somali referee from entering the country before the tournament started, political incidents involving the Trump administration and soccer have been few and far between.
No ICE arrests around matches. No heavy-handed policing like soccer fans sometimes suffer in Western Europe. No beef between Trump and the leaders of any World Cup countries (though that, obviously, could change at any moment.)"
