“We can take them away. I love the people of Boston. And I know the games are sold out, but the mayor is not good. There is worse than her. At least she is intelligent. You know some are extremely low IQ. They are bothering me more. She is intelligent but she is radical left,” Trump said.
Trump added that he would call FIFA president Gianni Infantino to get the matches moved.
“The answer is yes, if someone does a bad job, and if I feel there are uncertain conditions, I would call Gianni, the leader of FIFA, who is phenomenal and I would say, ‘let’s move it to another place,’ and he would do it. He wouldn’t love to do it, but he would do it, very easy he would do it.
