You can't do that so yes, I asked for a review by Fifa. I spoke to a man who's highly respected, and by the way, whose level of respect has gone up tenfold.
"And he was good before this started but he really pushed it in this country. I'm the one that got them to do it. It was not Biden. Biden was asleep. In fact it was very said because I got him to do it and, if the progression was normal, I would have been retired. Now the Democrats are saying, 'Man, we should have just let him have his four years. We would have had him gone.'
"But you know, the saddest thing is I got the Olympics and I got the World Cup. I tried to claim 250 years, too, but that didn't work. They said that one is what it is. No, I tried but it didn't work. I got him, I was so proud of it, and then I realised I wouldn't be president during it because I would have been out of office by that time I felt badly.
"The beautiful thing about what I did is I ran I never thought of it and then all of a sudden I realised, you know, I just got the Olympics and I totally got that myself. And I just got Fifa; I got that myself. We gave a little piece to Canada, gave a little piece to Mexico. I got that myself. And a lot of people helped like that man right there, Kevin [McCarthy]. A lot people, you know that, we work hard on that and we got it.
"But what we didn't know is how successful it was going to be. I didn't know. I said, Gianni, is anyone going to show up? Because, you know, we're not again, we we're not really I think soccer is doing much better but I couldn't imagine.
"If you would have said to any very smart people like this that the numbers they're doing now would be happening, they've never seen anything like it. Think of it, take the most successful Olympics or the most successful Fifa and you look at what's happening. You look at the numbers for this in the United States, just compared to Fifa, and it's numerous times more. It's not like 10% more, 2% more or 5% more which is more expected. It's like four times more successful than anything they've ever done. In fact, I said to Gianni, let's do it again next time and he said, that would be hard. I said, no, no, you do it again but at the same time you give it to somebody else for the next one. I don't know. It's a little crazy idea.
"All I did, I asked for a review because I didn't think it was a foul. And, you know again, I'm good at this stuff. I didn't think it's a foul, I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled. That was not a guy punching somebody in the face or anything, you know, would be different.
"If they wouldn't allow a top player, maybe the best, maybe among the best players on the team, to play, I think it would have had a big stain. And I related just that view: I didn't tell him what to do, I can't tell him what to do and I don't believe he made the decision. I think it was a committee that made the decision and they made the right decision because, number one, it wasn't a foul.
