There’s one thing you can’t take away from Trump: he unapologetically loves America.

FIFA suspended U.S. striker Folarin Balogun‘s red card Sunday after he received one in the soccer team’s game in the World Cup round of 32 against Bosnia-Herzegovina, which makes him available to play in Monday night’s round of 16 match against Belgium.

“By operation of Article 27 FDC, the implementation of the automatic match suspension for USA player Folarin Balogun is suspended for a probationary period of one year,” said FIFA in an official statement featured on the organization’s website.

According to a report from The New York Times, a call was made by President Donald Trump to FIFA following the United States winning against Bosnia-Herzegovina, with POTUS asking FIFA president Gianni Infantino to review the red card that Balogun was given.

“Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice!” said Trump in a Truth Social post not long following the announcement.

This is why I love my Uncle Trump.

My man celebrated the United States turning 250 years old in style. Not only did he give us an absolutely incredible round of celebrations for July 4th, but he’s also making sure that the U.S. Men’s National Team is staying grade-A for the rest of the World Cup. And I don’t care what the haters say, I don’t care how he got it done, all I wanna know is that Trump did get it done, and that’s exactly what happened.

Now let’s go get that trophy, boys!
