Ashish Prashar on FIFA's Gianni Infantino’s incestuous relationship with Donald Trump.
Summary
Anthony Davis interviews Ashish Prashar about FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s controversial attempt to sell World Cup rights to the Kushner family and his close ties to Donald Trump. Prashar details allegations of corruption, political interference in match outcomes, and blackmail against member nations, noting that Infantino’s support from Trump is waning. The discussion shifts to Trump’s “Board of Peace” in Gaza, which Prashar characterizes as a vehicle for resource extraction and regime change rather than genuine reconstruction.
