FoxNews Insider ^ | 8/28/2018 | Shepherd Smith Reporting

Posted on 08/28/2018 2:27:26 PM PDT by PJBankard

President Donald Trump met with FIFA President Gianni Infantino and U.S. Soccer President Carlos Cordeiro at the White House on Tuesday to commemorate North America winning its bid for the 2026 World Cup.

During their meeting, which was open to the press and broadcast on a delay on "Shepard Smith Reporting," Infantino and Cordeiro gave Trump a number of gifts to remember the occasion.

Cordeiro and Infantino both gifted Trump commemorative soccer jerseys, but near the end of the photo op, Infantino reached off camera to get one last gift for Trump.

He handed Trump a wallet-sized cardholder with yellow and red cards that a soccer referee would wave to award penalties during a match.

Democrats have no sense of humor as shown by their reaction to the President asking Russia to find Hellary’s missing emails.
We all found out today that he should have asked China because they have everything already.

Nice.

I’m not a fan of Soccer at all, but it’s nice it’s coming here in 2026.

I’m not sure why it has to come to a North American Union type of structure, but it may make sense depending on the Soccer federation or some such.

>>He has such a great sense of humor! Love this President!!<<

Big points to FIFA President for coming up with that (or brining it — you know what I mean)!

Funny moments.

Prior POTUS had a typical liberal’s “sense of humor” — just sarcastic and tone-deaf.

Excellent! Too bad not a little closer to mid-terms.

I really don't like soccer, but that was hilarious. That was a great stunt by the FIFA people, and Trump has such a great sense of humor.

Would love if President Trump quietly brought the cards to his podium as a prop while giving a speech or at a rally.
He could talk about the sport, how he has learned more about it, and then “red card” the Fake News live on television. :-)

It’s sad to think that Trump won’t be president in 2026.

Yes, it did bring some sadness to me.

Look at the joy and enthusiasm in that guy that gave Trump the card pouch.

He was a character, and both he and the U. S. Rep were very happy and proud to be there.

LOL!

Speaking of boring, try watching an NFL game for 4 hours and endure the endless timeouts, commercials, condescending halftime lectures on politics, and pinko gay cheerleaders.
