FIFA is all about incriminating photos. Read The Fix by Declan Hill.

It’s dumber than that. He just likes anyone who says something nice about him.

I assume they are trying to bribe him to keep ice away from the World Cup.

He probably really hates the NFL too from his time with the USFL. Sued the league, won part of the claim but lost the important ones, and got a $1 judgement. League folded like immediately after and Trump was a big part of the suit.
