The U.S. has put together a STRONG bid w/ Canada & Mexico for the 2026 World Cup. It would be a shame if countries that we always support were to lobby against the U.S. bid. Why should we be supporting these countries when they don’t support us (including at the United Nations)?

The plain implication of this tweet is that America’s relations with countries that don’t support the U.S. bid to host a stupid soccer match will suffer. That’s our foreign policy? Seriously?
Well … sure. After all, this is the same president whose lawyers said it would be injurious to relations with Panama if his company lost a court case over management of a hotel. The election of Donald Trump was a national disgrace, and we will pay for it for a generation or more. And shame on a Congress that can’t muster the wherewithal to do its plain duty and remove him from office.
