"I understand all decisions will now go through Trump for his approval " Actually, a misleading thread. If you care to review the reported facts you will discover that Trump is not replacing the VAR system, and on-pitch refereeing decisions will not be submitted to him for approval. The rumour appears to stem from a political statement made by the US President regarding Folarin Balogun’s suspension during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Trump said he called FIFA to ask for a review of the red card, which he called unfair, and FIFA later suspended the ban for a probationary period. | |||

I was intrigued to know what VAR is and looked further into the story. Trump may have a lot to be desired, but why attempt to slur his name with blatant lies, satire or not? Indeed not everyone follows football, so a bit more context in the OP would have helped, as I'm sure you will agree. | |||

"has a lot to be desired" indeed implies envy of its subject's wealth, power, or attributes, and that implication is supported when we note that the subject, Trump, is both rich and powerful, albeit morally bankrupt and a convicted criminal.

BTW, apologising for errors doesn't usually require courage, but I agree it's usually the decent thing to apologise for recognised errors… PFFT
This is MY last post on the subject and I apologise for the unintended hijacking whilst trying to politely encourage some self reflection/recognition (in another 🤔😂)!
Ignorance is something tRump squeezes out of his clogged up pores every day, and reliably cocks up virtually all decisions made by him and is therefore disqualified for a position as referee, or any other position of note! | |||
