Shelby Talcott: FIFA Is Getting Closer to Trump to Make Sure That This Event Goes Smoothly

RUSH EXCERPT:
TALCOTT: “Absolutely. And he‘s been cultivating this. He began to be close with President Trump in his first term. So this has been really years in the making. And I think part of the reason that you‘re seeing this flattery is a a because he‘s seen that this works, right? I‘ve talked a lot about all of these world leader meetings. And all of these world leader meetings are they‘re watching each other and they see what works. They see what doesn‘t work right. They see when the Ukrainian president went and was a little bit hostile towards the president, that did not end up as a very good meeting. So you‘ve seen everybody who meets with Trump and becomes friendly with Trump. They adjust how they act towards him. And I think one of the reasons that fifa is, is getting so close to Trump is also because, as you said, this is a huge event and there is so much going on in the world as it relates to the United States. When you‘re talking about Canada and Mexico, there are the tariffs. There is President Trump, who is who has said that he might go into Mexico to bomb the drug cartels. There‘s all of these things going on. And the closer that fifa can get to President Trump, the easier it will be for them to make sure that this event goes on smoothly.”
