@theipaper: Opinion | “Usually, the host nation of a tournament like the World Cup accrues a huge amount of goodwill from fans around the world,” writes James Ball. “People enjoy tournaments; visiting fans grow to like the cities they’re staying in and become fond of the people they meet. Visitors will often root for the home team, even when it’s America.” “Yet Donald Trump has single-handedly taken all of that goodwill and fed it into a shredder.” Read James’ full piece on @theipaper website.
