As much as I don't like it the man is in the office as president of the united states. Who would think that a sitting president would make a speech like that? The Bsa is in a bad position because it is not their fault what trump said but they are blamed for it when every us president is invited to speak. Obama passed the opportunity he had twice. The Bsa can not make a statement about the speech because it would be disrespectful to the office. We are again in uncharted territory, hate trump for what he did not the people he did it to.
