According to the British newspaper The Timesthe president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, raised the adulation of the president of the , , to a level that surprised even those behind the scenes at FIFA itself. During Trump’s inauguration, Infantino was present, which is not exactly a surprise, as the United States will host the next World Cup. Makes sense, right? The FIFA president being around at such an important moment. But what caught attention was what came next: Infantino published around 10 posts on social media, full of praise for Trump.

He even expressed pride at being mentioned at the inauguration ceremony and even echoed the American president’s famous slogan, promising to help “make America great again.” That’s right, Trump’s iconic phrase ended up in the mouth of the head of world football.

It is difficult to assess to what extent this relationship is just a strategic partnership or whether it crosses the line into exaggeration.
After all, Infantino and Trump have already met at other FIFA events, and with the World Cup approaching, close ties with the host country’s leaders could be a calculated move. But is that all? For some, this approach sounds like excessive flattery, while others may just see political envy disguised in the criticism.

And you, what do you think of this story? Is it just a pragmatic alliance for the success of the World Cup or has Infantino crossed the line? Leave your opinion in the comments and see you next time.
