‘He massages Trump’s basest instincts’: why is Fifa’s Gianni Infantino cosying up to the US president?
For a man who insists football isn’t political, the Fifa boss is putting a lot of effort into into courting the most divisive politician on Earth

Last week I checked in on a friend, someone who I thought would be one of the very last immigrants (who have any other options) to leave Germany, only to find that they and their family are already in the process of leaving. Their explicit reason: the rise of fascism. Very, very disturbing times.

He told us. He absolutely told us. He said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it. He told us he had zero regard for human life and people still voted for him. I could just scream.
And when he *jokes* about Trump 2028 are people just going to wave that away too?

Trump: I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.
