A growing international movement is now calling for a boycott of the U.S.-hosted World Cup this summer, (not as glorious as a nationwide general strike might be), but as something Trump actually fears: public embarrassment.
Fans are canceling tickets.
Travellers are saying they won’t enter a country where ICE raids, arbitrary detention, and disappearing people have become policy, and FIFA, reportedly, is nervous.
A hollow World Cup, empty seats, canceled travel, global warnings, would puncture Trump’s favorite fantasy: that he is universally admired, feared, and applauded.
He can stuff the applause right into his inaugural FIFA peace prize.
He may for the time being command troops.
He doesn’t command respect.
