Our Favorite President Donald Trump would have gotten the same loud, boisterous reception if he had been there.
The tremendous amount of rotten tomatoes, milkshakes, and doggy-doo thrown at him would have been completely besides the point, though.
Even while in Great Britain keeping this news from dear leader is today’s staff job number one.
Dubs win! Thanks, Obama.
This is unsurprising, Toronto and Nairobi have sister city status.
I hope all the networks give split screen comparisons of Obama’s welcome at the game and Trump’s protests in England, just to piss him off.
