The World Cup -- hosted jointly this year by the United States, Canada, and Mexico -- has wildly exceeded expectations. The post Politico: Dems Patriotism Problems So Bad They Have Issues Rooting for US World Cup Success appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
The fantastic success of the World Cup in the U.S. has soured many Democrats who were hoping it would be a black eye for President Donald Trump, according to a Politico report.The report found that many believed the complex logistics of organizing the global event might be too much for American officials but that that hope has been dashed so far.'What an absolute crock of an article.'"I think that there was a little bit of like liberal wishcasting that this would maybe be a disaster to sort of stick it to Trump,” said Democratic strategist Rob Flaherty. "It hasn’t yet been."It went on to say that Democrats have pivoted from criticizing the tournament in anticipation of its failure to praising local officials rather than crediting the Trump administration.The Politico report was unwelcome on social media, where many on the left expressed their outrage."This is the most hilarious stretch I've ever read," replied A.J. Delgado, who identifies as anti-Trump. "Yes, nothing makes Dems more uncomfortable than Dem-mayor Boston; Dem-mayor Atlanta; Dem-mayor Miami and more doing a great job hosting.

Cup just showed Europeans think Trump is POS but still love USA."RELATED: Atlanta stadium accused of promoting Islam at World Cup match White House spokesperson Davis Ingle responded to the report by praising Trump's role."Thanks to President Trump’s bold leadership, the FIFA World Cup 2026 will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest and most historic sporting events in history," he said on social media."Another win for the American people and the world," he added.Like Blaze News?
