Exactly. I may have my complaints about FIFA, but sucking up to Trump so that he does not cause the logistical headache of yanking games from cities that have Democrats is just good business practice. I am sure that, in the security of their private offices, FIFA officials described Trump in all sorts of words that have nothing to do with peace. But business is business.
During the Kennedy Center awards, Trump "misspoke" calling the center the "Trump Kennedy Center." Later, when asked if he was going to name the center after him., he said he did not know, but there was talk about it happening. Ya, right.
Once he is removed from office, I propose anything named after him should be renamed for someone else.

The Kennedy Centre - after being fumigated - should have its honourable name restored. The White House ballroom? Bulldozers.

When John Bolton was still a free man in the early days of this 47 period, he was going on TV shows all over the anglosphere analyzing Trump's personality and indirectly advising governments on dealing with him(*). One of his bits of advice basically amounted to "Stroke Trump's ego".
Pretty sure that's what the Koreans were doing when they gave him the Village People serenade and the fake crown(mentioned last page). And that particular government(basically the Ship Of Fools membership with political power, mutatis mutandis) is likely far more inclined against Trump than the kinda people who run FIFA.
So yeah, FIFA brown-nosing Trump is probably a pretty do-able strategy.
(*) Bolton's a scumbag, and probably the least sympathetic of the people victimized by Trump's authoritarianism. I do think he's probably accurate in his assessment of Trump's personality, though.

How long, Oh Lord, how long?
