The global soccer tournament has finally kicked off in North America, and the mainstream media is already in the middle of a massive coping session. Why? Because the one man who actually made this entire event happen—Donald J. Trump—is currently living rent-free in their heads by simply not showing up. Yes, the guy who single-handedly shaped this tournament in his own image has been completely invisible since the opening whistle, leaving journalists absolutely desperate for their daily dose of orange-man-bad content.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane to 2018, back when the corporate media told us we’d never win the bid. Morocco was lobbying hard, and the globalist elites at FIFA were hesitant. But then the Trump administration stepped in, brought the hammer down, and secured the "United Bid" with Canada and Mexico. Trump didn't just support the bid; he dominated the process, forcing FIFA to play by our rules and signing off on the federal guarantees that made the tournament possible.

Remember when Trump hosted FIFA President Gianni Infantino in the Oval Office? Infantino was practically bending the knee, handing over custom jerseys and red cards like a fanboy. Trump joked about using those red cards on the corrupt media, and the press corps nearly had a collective stroke. He set up the entire structural framework of this 48-team mega-spectacle, proving once again that he knows how to build things bigger and better than anyone else.

But now that the tournament is actually here, the establishment is crying because Trump isn't showing up to play their game. They wanted him in the VIP box so they could write articles accusing him of politicizing sports or violating stadium dress codes. Instead, he’s gone completely dark, leaving them with absolutely nothing to complain about. It is the ultimate power move: build the biggest stage in the world, hand it over, and then don’t even bother to show up for the applause.

Some soy-infused analysts are trying to claim he’s hiding because of security or because he's afraid of getting booed. Right, because a guy who routinely fills 30,000-seat arenas with screaming fans is suddenly terrified of a bunch of soccer tourists. The reality is much simpler: he already won. The tournament is running on the very tracks his administration laid down, and he doesn't need to sit through a three-hour match in a luxury suite to prove it.

Meanwhile, the current administration is trying to take credit for the smooth execution of the games, but everyone knows who actually signed the checks and made the deals. The entire tournament is a monument to the Trump era—grand, high-revenue, and unashamedly massive. Every single match played in these American stadiums is a reminder of who got the job done when the globalists said it couldn't be done.
