I mean yes if you give an insane person apparently unlimited power over war and surround him with a cabinet of people who cause the lapdogs of america to complain they're being given a bad name, this is what happens, but my god they've exquisitely bollocksed everything up.

It's been a while since we had a striker this good, but we wouldn't have him under Trump's birthright citizenship executive order. www.the-independent.com/sport/footba...

Folarin Balogun is the American American leading USA’s World Cup charge
Balogun was born in New York when his parents were on holiday from London but the USA embracing the striker as its new star is a delicious irony to Donald Trump’s stance on immigration
