Turns out nobody wants to pay $1,000 a night just to experience an authoritarian simulation.
@Strandjunker that isn't a simulation... (HT to Ben Kenobi "that isn't a moon")

FIFA did this to football.

@Strandjunker Go to Canada or Mexico to see games
You know what, maybe don't come to México either, I would not put it past them to plan a black op and create chaos just to justify more of his hate and lust for invasion... they know people are not going to the US and he's mad as hell about this...

This orange guy threatens and insults others as he pleases.
The entry requirements for the U.S. are a threat to democrats.
And ICE is a threat to everyone, but especially to foreigners.
How stupid do you have to be to travel to the U.S. as a foreigner?@baglava @Strandjunker i wonder if FIFA thought Trump was gonna buy all those tickets and rent those hotels himself when they gave him their "peace prize"

@weyoun6 @Strandjunker There are reports like this:

@Strandjunker
Actual 1930's Nazi German fascism in the current 2026 United States. No simulation and no drill, it is real fascism.Still I think Trump is cosplaying the 1930s scenario. A senile megalomaniac narcissist…

@Strandjunker, what really “needs” to happen is for ICE to detain some people involved in the tournament. Let's say some coaching staff, a few players, a few referees…
They'll be very quick about releasing them, I'm sure of that.

@Strandjunker
Good. I hope it totally crashes. The orange madman has bragged about it plenty; let that shame his sorry ass. He will no doubt blame trans people, Hakeem Jeffries, maybe Biden.
Some inane conspiracy because "they" are out to get him. But maybe it will hurt a bit too.
