agree to this.

Trump is as popular as COVID-19 in the tri-state area.

Of course he played no sports afterwards, especially in college (due to those devastating bone spurs )

Other sports usually take a lot more demanding physical training. I would have loved to have seen a "Donnie Trump" turn out for football in high school!

I'd bet that he contacted someone and demanded that he'd be given the same opportunity as Fauci. I'd bet he threw a tantrum.

I hope EVERY Yankee and Red Sox player kneels for it.

Further, I hope Dr. Fauci is named Sexiest Man and Man of the Year. I want It's head to explode!

He can't even lift a glass of water with one hand. What makes him think he will be able to throw a successful pitch? People are going to laugh him out of the stadium!

What a joke! Such an ego!

His only other outfit is his white polo and khakis, but those are his golf clothes. He might get confused and try to tee off from the pitchers mound.
