President Trump on Saturday said the “invitation is withdrawn” for Stephen Curry to visit the White House because the NBA All-Star “is hesitating.”

All-Star Warriors guard Stephen Curry said this week he didn’t want the team to visit the White House to celebrate their NBA championship title.

“I don’t want to go,” Curry told reporters on Friday. He said in June he “probably” wouldn’t go to the White House, and this week said he didn’t think the team should go either. Managers said they will discuss the decision as a team in an open forum.

Curry said his reasons for not wanting to visit the White House were “that we basically don’t stand for what our president has said, and the things he hasn’t said at the right time,” according to SF Gate.

UPDATE:

Yes, Fox & Friends Covered Stephen Curry Minutes Before Trump Tweeted

by Josh Feldman | 10:48 am, September 23rd, 2017

President Trump‘s tweet withdrawing Stephen Curry‘s White House invitation came minutes after Fox & Friends covered Curry this morning.

Yesterday Curry said he wouldn’t go to the White House in response to a question about a team invite, and the President reacted with this:

Trump tweeted that out at 8:45 am ET. This was Fox & Friends roughly 20 minutes earlier:

And President Trump’s tweeting in response to Fox & Friends segments is nothing new.

1. If any Warriors player shows up, I will root their utter demise...

Fuck Trump and his bullshit, but if the weakness of being bullied into submission is displayed by a single member of the Warriors organization after this nonsense, they should all be rejected totally.

[Girard442]

2. "...and the things he hasn't said at the right time."

That's good.

[Botany]

3. So Curry said he would not go and now Trump has said that he can't go?

BTW "Stephen Curry is hesitating." No you fat little fingered con man, Mr. Curry said,
“I don’t want to go."

[Thrill]

4. lol the guy already said he wasnt coming

What’s the point of rescinding the invitation? He told you first, dumbass

[Botany]

13. I quit. No you're fired.

n/t

[CCExile]

35. You can't quit me, I'm fired!

[Botany]

49. LeBron drops the hammer

[SamKnause]

5. I would not open the front door to see the orange, bloated, squinty eyed, asshole shaped mouth,

lying, racist, buffoon occupying the White House.

I would consider it punishment, not a great honor.

[yallerdawg]

6. Another perfect example...

of a petulant, petty little man.

Amateur hour in the White House - worst occupant EVER.

[MyOwnPeace]

24. I read them all.........

some VERY good responses, but I vote this #1!

[left-of-center2012]

7. Typical Trump behavior

Curry's welcome to visit me anytime.

[Siwsan]

8. Every time I wonder if he can get even more childish, he does.

The most flattering description of him that I can come up with is "Bloated Man-Child".

[keithbvadu2]

9. Coward pedophile Ted Nugent got an invite

Yet if you are a coward pedophile conservative Trump loyalist like Ted Nugent who advocated killing the president and Hillary, you can get an invite to the republican White House.

[BlueIdaho]

18. Wanker Ted nt.

[Old Vet]

54. After shitting and pissing in his pants for a week Nugent walked into the draft board......

And totally succeeded in looking crazy, And was deemed NOT fit for military service. By the book draft dodger, FUCK NUGENT, He really did this. Everything this scumbag stands for I detest, Even his hunting shows where he sneaks up on un-suspecting wildlife and kills them. Seems to me he could of used that talent in the military, But as we know deer don't shoot back.

[BlueIdaho]

56. Do you think I didnt know this?

I know all about Ted, I’m just not going to waste my breath on that POS.

[JDC]

10. Classless

[alittlelark]

11. Trump is like the guy you broke up with last month.

That keeps texting, but you do not respond... eventually he texts that it's OVER between you two, and that you will never find someone like him again.......

[MyOwnPeace]

26. We should all hope......

never to see someone like him again!

[Pachamama]

55. +1000

[global1]

12. Take A Knee In Protest Against Trump....nt

[MrModerate]

14. It was an honor until you got into the White House, Donnie . . .

Since then, not so much.

[MojoWrkn]

21. Bravo Bravo, Mr. Mod

My thoughts exactly! The orange one in the WH has ruined so many things for so many.

[mainstreetonce]

15. Please! Let the team decide

Not to go!

How dare the president withdraw the invitation!

Athletes should be free to choose who they respect!

[marieo1]

28. Stephen Curry

I am proud of Stephen Curry for taking a stand. DJT has no respect for anyone. Apparently, he was never taught in order to get respect you have to earn it. Stephen Curry has earned our respect. DJT HAS not!!

[Freethinker65]

16. First World Problems

What a National embarrassment the POTUS is. This Twitter battle with athletes is pathetic.

[luvtheGWN]

34. I remember that the last time the Boston Bruins

won the Stanley Cup while Obama was President, their goalie refused to go to the White House. Not a peep from Obama, who held the celebration with the rest of the team (half of whom were my fellow Canucks, natch!).

Bravo to Curry and, I'm sure, most of his team-mates who will also refuse the invitation. Especially now that Stephen has been "dis-invited".

Whoever said they can't believe Dolt45 could display any more petulant and childish behaviour -- just wait an hour or two.

[Ligyron]

47. I get the feeling Dump isn't much of a Basketball fan anyway.

Because, you know - those people like it.

[George II]

17. How petty - let's hope the team decides to "withdraw" and stay away.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

43. Better yet, I hope all sports teams stay away.

tRump has no concept of what good sportsmanship and fairness means, and certainly not of the freedom of expression enshrined in our Constitution.

Screw him and the faux gold chariot he rode in on.

[Maxheader]

19. Good for Curry

Trumphs spine is starting to twist. So
many popular professional sports
guys are acting blasphemous towards
him and his country. And cheetos
understands that people watch a lot
of tv..pro sports.

[TNNurse]

20. What a petty little man child Trump is.

[marieo1]

25. Molly Ivens

I miss her, too. She had great insight into everything. She was a great lady!!

[MyOwnPeace]

27. Just can't imagine

what Molly would be saying about this national disaster!!

[NastyRiffraff]

22. Pretty soon, NOBODY will want to visit him

except assholes like Nugent. He'll be just a lonely old man shoveling scoops of ice cream into his mouth and drooling.

[Motley13]

52. David Duke & the KKK would be welcome

[marieo1]

23. stephen curry

Way to go...at last someone has some good 'ole' common sense. I love NBA basketball and am so proud of Stephen Curry for standing up to that horrible man. Why doesn't anyone else call DJT out? Everyone just goes along with whatever he says and apparently the people that don't speak up, must feel the same way DJT does!!

[mainstreetonce]

36. If anyone knows

the best way to contact Golden State to tell them to stand with Curry ,please post it.

Let's all contact Golden State.

[C_U_L8R]

29. Grow up Trump

and change your fucking stinkin diapers

[Turbineguy]

30. As one of my classmates would have said,

"That's OK, I had to take a shit anyway!"

[Johnny2X2X]

31. Someone is going to go off on Trump

People have been taking the high road. One of these public figures is going to really go off on Trump one of these days. Maybe tweet something like, "this revolting and disgusting pathetic troll needs to shut his ridiculous mouth. He's a pathetic excuse for a human being and a disgrace to the country."

This person will be hailed a hero.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

44. I feel for our Dem congress members!

I know they bite their tongues every day just to maintain a level of civility across the isle just to get a few things done. It has to be trying on their souls.

Would love to be a fly on the wall in some of the cloak rooms, and local restaurants and bars. You know they let 'er rip!

[Gothmog]

32. Yeah for Stephen Curry

[Snackshack]

33. Totally understandable.

It's sad, going to the White House to meet the President after accomplishing such an achievement like a championship should be one of those special days that one looks back on from that day forward.

[mulsh]

37. as usual loser donnny two scoops is desperate for attenttion. why oh why to we give it to him?

n/t

[lark]

38. OMG, how old is drumpf anyway? Is he 9 or 90?

Is he a total whiney baby or a old doddering demented fool? One thing he is not is the leader of the free world. He's a total force for bad in this country and the entire world. Everything he promotes is sick, everything he hates is what's good.

[Bleacher Creature]

39. What a small, pathetic little man. NT

[bitterross]

40. What a f*cking man baby.

So you won't come - then you're not invited. So there! I win, I win, I win.

[Baitball Blogger]

41. Speaking of hesitation, see that comma between "hesitating" and "therefore"

Notice how the space between the comma and the next word is missing? That happens when someone has to change something they've written. I wonder what Trump's first thought was on this msg.

[SunSeeker]

53. I think his fat little fingers just hit the comma instead of the space bar on his phone.

The two are right next to each other. It is a common typo.

You're giving him WAY too much credit if you think he deliberates his thoughts before tweeting.

[Enoki33]

42. Another imbecile remark. Still one has to wonder if dotard

is attempting to lay the foundations of civil unrest after watching that obscenity in Alabama.

[SunSeeker]

45. Trump is bummed Curry refused to help legitimize that shitshow of a presidency.

[jalan48]

46. You can't come to my party! -Trump is a child.

[Sunlei]

48. Obamas friend with island can invite the whole team, Clintons & Obamas for some fun & island repair?

lot of work to do on all those cluster of islands

be a lot more fun then the white house with republican terror gangsters.

[edbermac]

50. What's next Donnie?

Gonna send him to bed without any supper?

[Fatemah2774]

51. Are we surprised?

This is a man who said in the debate he would never concede. He doesn't play by the rules so no respect for those who do.

Kim is right about one thing: the man is a DOTARD!

[Gothmog]

57. Steph Curry went to the WH when we had a real POTUS

[Old Vet]

58. I will bet hes very proud of that picture, God I miss Obama..........

[IcyPeas]

59. Fact: Prez Obama taught Stephen Curry how to play basketball: (video)
