NYT: Trump was never invited to throw out the first pitch at Yankee stadium and was jealous of Fauci

[SouthernCal_Dem]

WASHINGTON — An hour before Dr. Anthony S. Fauci threw the first pitch at the season opener between the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals, President Trump stood on the briefing room stage at the White House and declared that he, too, had been invited to throw out his own opening pitch.

“Randy Levine is a great friend of mine from the Yankees,” Mr. Trump, referring to the president of the baseball team, told reporters on Thursday as Dr. Fauci was preparing to take the mound. “And he asked me to throw out the first pitch, and I think I’m doing that on Aug. 15 at Yankee Stadium.”

There was one problem: Mr. Trump had not actually been invited on that day by the Yankees, according to one person with knowledge of Mr. Trump’s schedule. His announcement surprised both Yankees officials and the White House staff.

But Mr. Trump had been so annoyed by Dr. Fauci’s turn in the limelight, an official familiar with his reaction said, that he had directed his aides to call Yankees officials and make good on a longtime standing offer from Mr. Levine to throw out an opening pitch. No date was ever finalized.

11. Guess that's why he had to 'cancel'

He was jealous of Fauci the minute Brad Pitt played him on SNL - it was way more than Fauci's medical credibility.

[rpannier]

26. I think they should invite him. He can throw out the first pitch, then this woman can throw next

Watching the video, it looks like she can play a decent outfield and third base
In a Nun's outfit she's better than trumpo

8. LOL!

What if the rumor got around that Dr. Fauci was taking up wingsuit flying, and was heading out to El Capitan with a huge media entourage for his first flight?

[dhill926]

33. now that made me laugh my ass off...

wonder if we could talk the good doctor into saying it....

[Docreed2003]

9. How has this lying sack of shit been able to pull this con for so many years

It's really astounding that he has been able to lie his ass off and create this false reality around himself for so many years and people still buy into it!!

[peacefreak2.0]

10. Addlepated fool.

[Wawannabe]

12. Fuckoff. Dick!

Stupid ass hole

[JI7]

14. People were saying this when news came out about this since it only came from Trump

at a time everyone was focused on Fauci.

[smirkymonkey]

16. What a petty, jealous little man!

He is so envious of truly intelligent, accomplished people who didn't need daddy's help to get where they are in life.

And another thing that drives me up a wall is when he refers to everyone he knows as "A really great friend of mine", even when he's only met them only once or twice and they probably hate his guts. I don't think he has one real friend in the world or one relationship that isn't transactional.

He doesn't know the meaning of the word.

[underpants]

31. The funny thing is that it really stole none of Fauci's thunder

I didn’t hear it discussed much on ESPN. There was absolutely no need for it other than for him to THINK he got the better of the situation - just the little monster Fred ruined him to be.

[CatWoman]

17. ....

[crickets]

18. The public humiliation he brought on himself with this is delicious and so well deserved. nt

[mn9driver]

19. Mary Trump's book describes this behavior well.

Fred Trump created this monster. He is incapable of changing at this point in his life. As the virus continues to spread and his failure gets bigger, the lies will soon take over everything. When he loses the election, it will be like nothing we have seen up to this point.

[slumcamper]

22. What a sad and petty little waste of space, this Baby Trump.

[underpants]

24. I could have sworn he claimed it was the Yankees home opener

It hit me that that was odd since it was 3 weeks away. The Yankees aren’t staying on the road for 3 weeks.

I could very well have just heard that wrong.

[2naSalit]

25. Just what manu of us suspected.

[rickford66]

27. Give it time. The Yanks will get their arms twisted and say it was a mistake and Trump was invited.

Everybody caves for this scumbag.

[unblock]

30. once again, if a democrat did this, their career would be *over*

for donnie, it just another ho-hum matter-of-fact story about a lie. the media covers it with a yawn. a story with no "legs".

but when they catch a democrat in anything they can even pretend to be a lie, they are relentless, keeping the story alive for the entire campaign or even long after it, running stories from every angle. how can they govern if they lie, how can anyone trust them, how can they negotiate with trading partners or with adversaries, etc. they did this with hillary, gore, even gary hart.

but donnie, seriously, all these derivative stories they run against democrats finally are blatantly relevant with donnie, but there isn't anything near the level of media interest in running those stories.

[rpannier]

32. He can't make it

Bone spurs in his hand

[LudwigPastorius]

34. Trump is arguably the most powerful man in the world.

Yet, he has to lie because his fee fees got hurt, because somebody who works under him threw out a baseball.

There is absolutely nothing inside of Trump. There is no core to his being. He is just an empty, babbling meatsuit.

36. Every day, he re-earns the sobriquet of Needy Amin

What a sad little man. May he live out his days in obscurity and ignominy.

[malaise]

43. I remember when you gave him that name

[FailureToCommunicate]

50. Yes!

Idi Amin was his style tutor.

[StarfishSaver]

37. How embarrassing for him ...

In most instances, the minute any other president "accidentally" said he'd planned to throw out the first pitch on a date certain - you know, like if he somehow mistakenly thought he'd been asked (wink wink) - the team would be delighted and jump to make sure he got an invitation to throw out the first pitch on that date.

The fact that, even after Trump put them on the spot like he did, no invitation was forthcoming, and he had to "cancel" his appearance due to a "conflict," is very, very awkward ...

[Thekaspervote]

39. Lies when the truth would do..typical of his marginal sociopathic personality

Thing is they get so they can’t keep straight what’s truth and what’s a lie

[Hassler]

41. I'd give anything to witness his "pitch." Remember, this is

A guy who needed two hands to drink water. Picture that two-handed pitch leaving his tiny hands, landing at his feet and rolling down the mound.

[AC_Mem]

42. He can't even hold up a glass of water

Are we going to also have to witness him "dribble" the ball?

[Ilsa]

44. I bet his alter ego "John Barron" called

a sports radio station and suggested that Pres. Trump be invited to pitch.

48. How can we petition Time Magazine to have Dr.Fauci on the cover?

52. Jesus.

He is such a child.

54. I don't know whether to call for Trump's resignation

FFS - - he opens his mouth and the lies just pour out.

What a damned loser.

What a damned weak-assed failure.

What a global embarrassment.
