Donald Trump breaks silence after USA dumped out of World Cup and Balogun drama

The co-host lost 4-1 to Belgium in the round of 16 on Monday, July 6 in Seattle, knocking them out of the World Cup.

Trump was very vocal about his country’s chances and that their star player, Folarin Balogun, should be able to play even after getting sent off in their win against Bosnia.

However, after the match, his first post on Truth Social ignored the game completely – and instead focused on the USA’s military efforts.

He said in a post after the match: “The United States Military has never been stronger, or more powerful. No other Nation can do what we do (It’s not even close!).

“This year we set even more Historic Recruiting Records, months ahead of schedule. Morale has never been higher. Our Military’s unmatched POWER was on full display during our Celebration of 250 Years of American Independence and, like our Country, the WAR DEPARTMENT has never been “HOTTER.”

“We need to keep it that way, which is why, when Congress returns, we must pass Reconciliation 3.0, with 350 Billion Dollars for Defense, plus THE SAVE AMERICA ACT! I am calling on House and Senate Leadership to make this their Number One Priority, and ensure that 350 Billion Dollars in Recon 3.0 moves out of the Budget Committee as soon as Congress is back in session.

“The SAVE AMERICA ACT, which everyone is asking for, paired with the full funding of our Great Department of War, can be passed very quickly, ensuring that the United States of America stays FREE for Generations to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Just one day earlier, Trump commented on his call with FIFA boss Gianni Infantino over a red card and ban for the US’ star striker and top goalscorer.

The US president urged Infantino to review a red card given to Folarin Balogun in the Round-of-32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Balogun should have been automatically banned for the match against Belgium after being sent off in his prior game.

Trump and Andrew Giuliani, executive director of the White House’s World Cup task force, spoke to Infantino by phone and the automatic one-match suspension was postponed.

FIFA said on Sunday that the punishment had been suspended

This allowed the country’s leading goal-scorer to play.

Trump later thanked FIFA in a post on Truth Social, writing: “Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right and reversing a great injustice.”
