EXCLUSIVE: President Donald Trump’s Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is claiming victory over the left after a successful FIFA World Cup tournament that saw record-shattering numbers of fans moving through the U.S.

Several million FIFA fans flocked to American stadiums this year, putting an enormous strain on federal, state and local transportation networks.

However, aided in part by a more than a $100 million DOT infrastructure investment to World Cup host cities, the tournament went off without any major incidents, prompting Duffy to taunt doomsayers who predicted the country would fall on its face.

"The Left was praying for an American transit disaster as we hosted the most important international sporting event in modern history," Duffy told Fox News Digital.
