FIFA would make a terrible mistake if they, for any reason whatsoever, even considered replacing President Gianni Infantino. He is fantastic, and has just led the most successful World Cup, four times over, that has ever been arranged.

The former president further emphasized the potential negative consequences of Infantino's departure. "If he is gone, it will never be as successful or profitable again!" Trump declared, concluding his statement with "Thank you for your attention to this matter."
