FIFA president Gianni Infantino met with Donald Trump inside the Oval Office to discuss North America jointly hosting the 2026 World Cup with Canada and Mexico.

Football wasn't discussed much during the meeting, but he did confirm would be Mexico financing the border wall that was a part of Trump's 2016 campaign promise.

Fox News host Shep Smith was flummoxed over the president's responses to questions about Twitter and search engines.



"Google is really taking advantage of a lot of people, and I think that's a very serious thing," Trump said during Tuesday's meeting.

"What Google and others are doing—if you look at what's going on at Twitter, if you look at what's going on at Facebook—they better be careful because you can't do that to people. We have tremendous—we literally thousands and thousands of complaints come in, and you just can't do that. Google and Twitter and Facebook, they're really treading on troubled territory and they have to be careful."


After viewing the clip, Smith mocked Trump's words, staring with the comment about the border wall. "Mexico will pay for the wall, as we all know."

Then he asked his correspondent, John Roberts, to make sense of Trump's ramblings that followed the meeting with the FIFA executives.

"This new thing—today's new thing. Not a thing, but a thing. Which means nothing…. What is he talking about?" he asked, relaying the president's words from the meeting.

"'Treading on troubled territory.' 'You can't do that.' Do what to people?"

Giphy

Roberts attempted to explain, saying, "He's just venting. He doesn't like the coverage that he sees, particularly in the Google search results who had pointed out some of what the president may have been either seeing on Google himself or had relayed to him."

Basically, Trump prefers fakes news that paints him in a more favorable light.

Smith succinctly pointed out that Trump's ramblings had a lot to do with his extreme disdain for how he's portrayed in the news.

"What he doesn't like is the news. It's not the people who are delivering it or the platforms on which they receive it. It seems to be the news itself."


"It seems to be the news itself, because around there it's not good. The fake news tends to be pretty good to him, the real news tends to be pretty unpleasant."

Faithful Fox viewers skewered Smith for his coverage of the Oval Office meeting.




But others came to his defense, saying that the host at least covers actual news as opposed to his colleagues.






At the end of the photo meet and greet, Infantino gifted Trump with a set of cards referees use during a game. The yellow card indicates a warning, while the red card is for "when you want to kick out someone."

"This could be useful for you, I don't know. It's for you," said the FIFA president.

Trump jokingly grabbed the red cards and pretended to fling them towards the press. His animosity for the media was never more apparent than in that moment.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
