Real estate fraud and convicted felon Donald Trump says he did not know what a red card meant, but he did know how to call FIFA and complain until America's best striker was allowed to play. The Trump brand of sportsmanship looks a lot like cheating.
The Orange Menace openly described the cheating machine in real time: confusion, grievance, phone call, reversal, victory lap. He did not understand the rule. He attacked the referee. He called FIFA. The punishment disappeared. Then he stood in front of cameras and confessed his pride in playing the heroic role of cheater in the sequence.
This is how he has treated every system he has ever touched: elections, courts, taxes, contractors, golf, now the World Cup. Grandpa Pudding Brains does not need to know the rules. He just needs someone nearby willing to bend them.
While Donald found the red card confusing. The cheating was feral instinct.
