Trump Throws Tantrum, Disinvites Philly Eagles From White House Visit

By Red Painter — June 4, 2018

When Donald Trump heard that many of the Golden State Warriors would not come to the White House in the fall of 2017, he decided to withdraw the invitation to visit the White House. No one seemed to really care and it made Trump look like a whiny baby.

Well, the baby is back and this time he has withdrawn the invitation to the NFL Champions, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Here is the official statement from the White House.

Seriously, it is so whiny.

Back in February, Torrey Smith said some players wouldn't attend anyhow:

Trump disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles tomorrow but fans can still come to the White House to play games like Tiki Torch twirling and bobbing for Swastikas.

And this brilliant tweet:

My take on the race-baiting involved in the President disinviting the Philadelphia Eagles to the the White House is that the President does not have the power to pardon himself and this should be the lead on every single news program.

I wonder how the NFL feels now, after capitulating to Dear Leader on the new "kneeling policy"? Still happy with that choice?
