The “anchor investor,” described by FIFA, is a New York-based investment firm created by Joshua Kushner, the younger brother of U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

I knew once I first heard of this dumb idea that Trump and/or Kushner must be involved

If we see Infantino run unopposed, which I understand is the current state of the field, I think we can expect to see this corporatization scheme attempted again because he understands his actions don't really have consequences.
