He's been sending the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense.
He has been sending Treasury Secretaries.
The vice president's wife, for example, has also attended a U.S.
match.
But he hasn't gone yet.
And to reference the NBA finals inexplicably for a second time in this podcast –
Right before the tournament, when the New York Knicks first hosted a game in the Madison Square Garden famous venue in New York City, Donald Trump attended that game.
And he was loudly booed any time he was on the Jumbotron.
He has shown on that saluting the flag.
He never served.
You're not supposed to salute the flag as a president unless you served in the military.
And so even the veterans are looking at booing him because he is, you know, disrespecting the protocol there.
But then the general crowd, almost unanimously to a person, aside from the players on the court, I suppose, were booing him.
And I think that did send a message to a global audience that was just starting to pay attention to American culture a little bit more on the eve of the World Cup.
Hey, this guy isn't as popular as maybe we assumed.
And he isn't going to resonate with the rank and file who is attending this tournament in a way that maybe made them feel more comfortable going into these spaces, knowing it wouldn't be essentially a Trump rally.
The flip side is he hasn't wanted to go to a space that doesn't feel like a Trump rally.
And so he has not yet attended games.
But the further the United States advances, the more the question gets begged of when, not if he does want to go.
I would guess that there will be.
