I am proud to announce the appointment of Andrew Giuliani as the Executive Director of the President’s Task Force on the 2026 FIFA World Cup. During my First Term, Andrew served as a Special Assistant to the President and Associate Director of the Office of Public Liaison, playing a key role in creating the system that enabled athletes from around the World to re-enter the United States during the Reopening of America in 2020.
Additionally, Carlos Cordeiro will serve as Senior Advisor. Carlos is currently Senior Advisor to the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), and was previously the President of the United States Soccer Federation, where he was Chairman of the winning bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. I know Andrew and Carlos will work tirelessly to make the 2026 FIFA World Cup an unprecedented success. Congratulations Andrew and Carlos!📈 Market Reaction:

The market's reaction to Trump's World Cup task force announcement was roughly as enthusiastic as a polite golf clap. SP500 inched up 0.16% over 10 minutes, while Dow Jones gained 0.14%, suggesting institutional investors were mildly amused by the bureaucratic reshuffling. BTC and ETH crawled upward by 0.10% and 0.14% respectively, proving crypto traders have stronger opinions about memecoins than soccer logistics. The real winner was TRUMP, up 0.37%, because nothing fuels a cult stock like self-referential announcements. Volatility was tame compared to historical parallels: a May 1 post with 54% similarity saw SP500 drop 0.12% over 10 minutes, while another triggered a 0.53% TRUMP spike before fizzling. Today’s moves fit the pattern of markets treating political theater as background noise—unless it involves tariffs or tweets in ALL CAPS. Nothing says "economic catalyst" like appointing a Giuliani to oversee soccer. The beautiful game, indeed.
