In town pool #11 - World Cup EO

POTUS announces an EO setting up a task force on the World Cup.

FIFA head Gianni Infantino is here and spoke for a moment.

“It’s like three Super Bowls a day for a month,” POTUS said of the tournament.

He signed it with the usual Sharpie at 3:03. Some banter about the tournament with Trump asking who is favored to win, whether the US team can. Trump says he wants to attend matches.

POTUS got a question about reporting on yesterday’s cabinet meeting and disputed that there was a clash.

“No clash, I was there, you’re just a troublemaker,” he told NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez. “Elon gets along great with Marco and they’re both doing a fantastic job.”

He didn’t answer a follow up. Instead, he got up out of his chair and Infantino pulled a black cloth off the World Cup trophy.

He asked for only FIFA questions but then said about the reported clash:

“Marco has done unbelievably as Secretary of State. And Elon is a unique guy and has done a fantastic job.”

Asked about tensions w Canada and Mexico affecting the World Cup, POTUS said “it makes it much more exciting.”

He posed for photos with other FIFA representatives when Sec. Kristy Noem pointed out that they were there and then thanked the press and the wranglers shooed us out at 3:11.
