Nah, Trump doesn't actually care about the success of the team
He just loves the profit and spectacle.
And the referees are not Infantino toadies - they'd be only too happy to expose him as corrupt. They'd be permanent heroes to most football supporters if they did.
It looks like there's a good chance USA will face England (if they both win their groups, which seems likely, and both win their round of 32 matches, against 3rd place teams from other groups - again, seems likely) in the round of 16, in Mexico City. Form would favour England in that.
