“Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr Prime Minister, give ASYLUM. The US will take them if you won’t,” posted the FIFA Peace laureate on Monday.
The post came a little under an hour after CNN printed a story headlined “Five Iranian women’s soccer players safe with police after fleeing team as supporters plead for action in Australia,” which would seem to indicate that Trump simply just doesn’t know what the fuck is going on.
