Summary:

Dr. Jim says Trump does not turn everything he touches into gold. He turns it into something much worse.

In this episode, Dr. Jim uses Trump’s involvement in sports as the latest example of what he calls the reverse Midas touch. The main example is Trump allegedly intervening with FIFA to get Flo Balogun’s red card overturned before the U.S. played Belgium, only for the U.S. men’s national team to deliver what Dr. Jim describes as one of its most embarrassing performances in a major competition.

The broader argument: whether it is business, politics, the country, or sports, Trump’s presence is a curse. Wherever he sticks his nose in, things go sideways.
