We should be ashamed to host any worldwide events, given how we've cost the world so much money and hardship. Trump wanted us to be isolationist, to destroy trade and abrogate treaties; shun our neighbors and threaten our friends. He's succeeded. We are now a pariah nation, much more than Iran ever was.
I'm glad to hear that visitors think that this isn't Trump Land. That's a nice sentiment, but it's not realistic. We ARE Trump Kand. We elected him. Twice. The pain he's inflicted on the world...we inflicted it as well
Trump made it much, much more difficult for first Cup athletes, then Cup spectators, to enter the US. Everyone was met with suspicion and hostility; many were briefly detained. The visitors' first experience in America was like visiting Russia during the Cold War.
The only person America is ashamed of is YOU.
