Chump is going to colossally fuck this up, I'm sure of it.

The US is hosting the majority of the FIFA soccer games next year - along with Mexico and Canada. Do I need to mention that most professional soccer teams are packed with black and brown players who aren't necessarily born in the countries for which they are playing? Many (most) of those players speak English as a 2nd language, or maybe not at all.

Chump is going to sic his ICE goons on all those foreign visitors next year and it will be a major international SNAFU. I'm almost hoping that FICA cancels the US games and moves them all in to Canada. It will be the only way to avoid trouble.
