Soccer officials showed President Trump the yellow and red cards referees use to enforce discipline during matches. Trump grabbed the red card, which leads to a player’s ejection from the match, and waved it toward his favorite bogeyman.

  1. I stopped reading at “Trump Flashes.”

  2. So, he first red cards the media in a completely wrong and incomprehensible way, as it looks as if he’s pretending to throw it at them. Then he’s corrected, and properly holds up the card - just the way the visitor had shown 3 seconds before with the yellow card.

    Fucking idiot.

    At least it didn’t take him as long as getting the phone connection with Enrique yesterday. But, then again, a red piece of card stock is not as high-tech as a telephone.

  3. Just happy he only flashed a red card.

  4. Always punching down. Always being an asshole.

    So very presidential.
