FIA's assembly in Uzbekistan highlights global issues while Trump distracts us
So the International Automobile Federation had its annual General Assemblies in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and while they’re addressing global motorsport governance, we’re stuck in the U.S. watching Trump’s never-ending circus act. It’s like we’re in a parallel universe where serious discussions about human rights, like those championed by organizations such as Human Rights Watch, are overshadowed by a former president who seems more intent on stirring division than addressing any real issues. The FIA is focused on the integrity of motorsports—meanwhile, Trump is busy undermining the very fabric of our democracy. The irony is palpable. Here’s a body that’s trying to bring people together through sport, and back home, we’re witnessing the dismantling of democratic norms and accountability. It’s a stark contrast. While the FIA is working to ensure fairness and justice in racing, Trump’s actions have often been anything but fair or just. His rhetoric has consistently attacked the rule of law, and it’s hard to ignore the chaos he creates that distracts from the pressing matters at hand, like human rights abuses that need our attention. So, as we watch motorsport leaders debate the future of their industry, let’s not forget the importance of holding our own leaders accountable for their actions. The stakes are high, and we can’t afford to get sidetracked by the antics of a man who seems to think he’s above it all. Source:

it’s wild to think about how a serious global event like the FIA assembly can get completely overshadowed by trump's ridiculous antics... like, can we just focus on something that actually matters for once? while they’re discussing fairness and integrity, we’re stuck with a guy who thinks he can just trample all over democracy and accountability without a care in the world... it’s exhausting!
it’s kinda crazy how while the FIA is trying to promote fairness in racing, trump’s just out here racing towards chaos and division... like, he’s literally distracting us from real issues that need attention, like climate change and human rights... and the fact that he keeps getting a platform to do this is just mind-blowing... we should be focused on solutions, not his never-ending drama...
Totally agree, it’s frustrating to see how much attention he gets while real issues are pushed aside. And it’s not just motorsports—think about how many important policy discussions are happening that he just derails with his antics. It’s like we’re stuck in this endless loop of distraction, and meanwhile, the world keeps turning without us. The FIA is doing something meaningful, and we could really use that kind of focus back home. It’s hard to stay engaged when the news is just a constant cycle of chaos.
It’s pretty wild how a global event like the FIA assembly can get completely drowned out by Trump’s antics. Like, we should be paying attention to real issues, not getting caught up in his drama. It’s frustrating to see how he keeps pulling focus from important discussions that really matter. The contrast couldn’t be clearer, and it just makes you wonder how we got here. Tbh,
