The Donald Trump thread

Re: The Donald Trump thread

It's the environment he is creating that is effecting change, not necessarily him directly. It's the changes in policy direction which are having knock-on effects.

For the benefit of Gluey and Mrs R and anyone else who didn't understand the cheerleader post, I'm referring to things like this where Trump is being given credit for things that are nothing to do with him.

Although if you can show which parts of US policy that have changed in 2017 that had the necessary effect on FIFA then I am happy to take it back.

Trump's entire UN address was anti-globalist. He was making the case for maintaing nation states. The poppy is a symbol of national identity. Are you getting the picture? ...

Ah right, the United States of Europe. So you think FIFA are thinking along the same lines? They're trying to get rid of all the countries so there's just one global football team?

Yeah, you might be on to something here.

Hold on. Who will the global team play against? Oh no, I've spotted a flaw in the masterplan!

So FIFA, which relies on the World Cup to make its huge profits, is getting rid of international football.

The last time I looked FIFA weren't in charge of removing existing national boundaries, or drawing up new ones.

I think we all know that, at least I thought we all did until your odd suggestion that FIFA was complicit in the abolition of national symbols and beyond.

I'd like to hear more about the regional teams in the Champions League, though.
