(14,449 posts)Same with throwing a first pitch at an opening game. These are events that won't hurt trump as far as saying no to him as the orioles have told him. We need things he's never done before and THEN tell him no. That's the only way to make him feel bad.

2. The second sentence is for cover in case of jury.

Mendocino
(7,488 posts)Trump was painfully bad. He's rich, he can afford good writers, but you have to think he insisted on scripting that slimy mess all by himself.
Brother Buzz
(36,428 posts)And the the writers knew they were going to be stiffed so they only delivered half a speech. He was so-so, stiff, but so-so until the script ended, then it went south. The people behind him were none to happy with it. And the awful part is the orange anus has no clue how shitty and over the edge it was.

briv1016
(1,570 posts)Last president to not attend was Reagan in '81 after the assassination attempt. He did address the group over speakerphone. Before that was Carter in '78 due to "exhaustion."
Before that was Nixon in '72.

(18,124 posts)from his coming demise because of all of his crooked and treasonous activities. He'll show up if Baldwin goes, if not, he is the coward he has shown himself to be to be, consistently. Big ploy...distract, divert, lie and hope for his 30% base of racist ignoramuses to remain stupid and dangerously loyal. To hell with boy-potus puppet and his string pullers prezidents bannon and miller.
