Summary
David Ingle, asked about Tiffany Haddish's criticism of Donald Trump after the U.S. men's 4-1 World Cup loss to Belgium, replied: "Who the hell is Tiffany Haddish?"
Haddish, guest-hosting "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on July 7, mocked Trump for pressing FIFA to review Folarin Balogun's July 1 red card, saying people were blaming him for the U.S. exit.
FIFA reversed Balogun's suspension on July 5, but the U.S. still crashed out a day later; Trump defended seeking the review, calling the original card "very unfair."
Gianni Infantino said he did receive Trump's call but stressed FIFA's disciplinary committee acts independently, underscoring scrutiny of presidential involvement in the tournament.
