Trump backs out of throwing the first pitch at Yankee Stadium (regular, radical)

[usayit]

Load of B.S. He knows New Yorkers aren't his fans. I don't blame him for backing out... He is the President. It would be more acceptable/believable to simply say he wasn't interested.

Obviously he is so busy that he still manages to play golf...

Amazing. And to think he did that with those debilitating heel spurs.

I am not a Trump fan; however, I cannot imagine he could throw a pitch worse than Dr. Fauci.

Either way, Trump could make a joke about his own pitching skills (or the lack thereof) and it might actually endear him to many people for showing humility.

I hear those Lysol injections really make your arm sore.

I doubt he'd be able to get it over the plate.

Trump citing all the hard work he is doing (lol) when we know he wouldn't be able to handle the massive booing he'll encounter in his hometown.

Maybe he’s working too much on that health care plan he promised in two weeks. I guess there is only one week left, so he’s probably thinking that after Mon-Weds golf outings he’d have to start on Thursday. Leaves no time for practicing not to be embarrassed.

Maybe Joe Biden can take his spot.

OP spews leftist garbage. He hates Trump no matter what he does or doesn't do. He is as useless as face masks.

Smart move

You guys do realize no one would be in the stadium besides the team and a few camera men.

Trumps staff probably saw him throw a few practice pitches and realized he throws like a softie.

I'm a she, but what did I say that was "leftist garbage"? A few days ago he said he would throw out the opening pitch at Yankee Stadium. Today he says he is too busy dealing with Covid-19, or as he calls it, the "Chinese virus". Yet he has been at one of his golf courses every weekend in the height of a pandemic that is killing a thousand Ameeicans a day.

What are you calling garbage?
