Trump Claims "Rigged Election" During FIFA World Cup Announcement

During what should have been a straightforward ceremony establishing a White House task force for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on March 9, President Donald Trump veered off-script with a jarring claim about election fraud. Standing beside FIFA President Gianni Infantino in the Oval Office, Trump stated "they rigged the election and I became President," suggesting manipulation in his favor—a stark departure from his usual claims. This marks the second time Trump has made such remarks, following similar comments at Capital One Arena in January. The ceremony was intended to highlight the economic benefits of the upcoming World Cup, with Infantino projecting a $40 billion boost to the U.S. economy and creation of approximately 200,000 jobs across the host cities.
