For the past year, FIFA, the governing body of international soccer, has leased an office on the 17th floor of New York’s Trump Tower that has sat all but empty. The rent goes to President Trump’s family business, but soccer officials say the space sits largely idle.

    Paying rent to the Trumps was the choice of Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, who has made being close to Mr. Trump a top priority. He has lavished the president with praise, trophies and a medal. He has made pilgrimages to Mar-a-Lago, the Trump National Doral golf club and even the “Melania” documentary premiere.

    1. I saw something saying most countries support him staying as the president of FIFA so it seems like it’s not just him that’s the problem.

    2. Everyone bowing down and kissing the ring is disgusting.

      Infantino is a spineless, slimy coward.

      Good reporting.

      It sucks that NYT does such bad reporting on Israeli war cimes and trans people.

      What exactly does trump have on him? He got this guy to give him the peace prize, center stage presenting all the medals and the trophy. What gives? 

      I don’t remember this much ass kissing for the Qatar World Cup.

      This is why I roll my eyes at Europeans who complain about Trump being corrupt but then still tuning in to watch the most corrupt organization
