Made Us Look Like Cheaters': MS Now Host Reveals True Toll Of Trump's World Cup Meddling

Katy Tur, host for MS NOW, argued on Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s intervention with FIFA backfired by damaging the U.S. men’s national team’s World Cup campaign, which has ended. Tur said Trump pushed to overturn star striker Folarin Balogun’s red-card suspension, and she claimed the result “made us look like cheaters” and “ruined the vibes.” She pointed to U.S. fans’ social-media videos suggesting Trump “cursed” the team, while noting hesitation on the field during the Round of 16 loss to Belgium, 4-1. Tur also highlighted Belgium’s Trump-trolling celebrations and anti-Trump chants from Australia fans. In her view, the team’s moment became one of responding to the controversy.
