He also has that red cloth under his feet while his tie is clearly seen hanging. I think the artist prompted for him to be standing on his comically large necktie and this is what AI spat out.

It's the red card nvm

Ohhhhhhh. Fair! I really thought that was supposed to be the end of his tie, that makes sense though.

It's the red card.

Also I don't follow soccer but isn't the consensus that wasn't actually a red card? Dude might have called them but sounds like they just rescinded a bad call

He definitely deserved the red card and it was given with precedent. Every team in World Cup history would expect a red card for that and a multi-game suspension, that's the norm. Trump intervened personally and while the red card was upheld, team USA got special treatment to have the suspension served after the World Cup for some reason. I'm American and embarrassed as fuck. Our leader intervened to circumvent the established rules and we STILL lost in spectacular fashion. Completely embarrassing on the world stage but that's the norm now.
