"I saw the play. I'm a person that loves sports and was a good athlete. I understand sports really well. Really well."
"He's our best player, or one of our best players, and the referee gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant. I didn't think it meant much.
"Then I started hearing that means he can't play in the next game - at least the next game. If it happened to another player that would have been unfair but when they take your best player or just about - they have some great players - and they say you can't play, that is very unfair."
"It's one thing to penalise somebody for the game, but how do you penalise them for a game that hasn't been played yet? It's very unfair, you can't do that.
"Yes, I asked for a review by Fifa. I spoke to a man [Gianni] who is highly respected, who's level of respect has gone up tenfold, and he was good before this started but he really pushed it in this country. I'm the one who got them to do it [bring the World Cup to America]. It was not [Joe] Biden. I got the Olympics and I got the World Cup. We gave a little piece to Canada, a little piece to Mexico, but I got that myself."
I can't do enough of an eyeroll. It must be *so* f**king embarrassing for that to be your elected leader.
