In case you didn't know Nats catcher Kurt Suzuki is either a douche, vacuous or a trumpite

From the undefeated

But the most shocking moment for many Nationals fans came when Kurt Suzuki stepped to the mic, donning an actual MAGA hat, an undoubtedly political statement. There’s no way around what that means, no matter how you slice it. “Make America Great Again” was quite literally a campaign slogan. Period.

After the blowback, Suzuki offered up a retort that was beyond shortsighted. “It was amazing. That was the president. Just trying to have some fun,” the Hawaii-born catcher told USA Today. “Everybody makes everything political. It was about our team winning the World Series.” I mean, if that were the case, why not just wear an actual hat of the championship team you play on and contribute to?

So he wore a magat hat to help make it about the world series?

Too busy practicing to keep up with the news of how awful the president is.

Although, Suzuki's complaint about people "making it political" is a bit much considering he was wearing actual political campaign gear.
