Well, Now He’s Done It
Regular customers know that the only thing I like better than politics is baseball. I flat love baseball.
Well, the current occupant of the White House is breaking a 100 year tradition of presidents throwing out the first pitch of the season. He turned down the opportunity to throw out the first pitch for the Nationals.
He’s claiming he has a scheduling conflict. I doubt that. He doesn’t do anything. He doesn’t have a schedule. Jared Kutcher has a schedule. Trump does not.
Here’s what everybody thinks. He got 4% of the vote in Washington, Dee Cee. His approval rating is now 36% nationwide. He would be booed at the ballpark and his precious little snowflake ego couldn’t take that. Maybe he could wear his red baseball cap and make everybody laugh. The man needs guts lessons from April Ryan.
Or maybe the problem is that the only thing he can throw is a fit.
My guess is the ball would only roll a few feet and make him look even more ridiculous.
1Yep, JJ, you and Cheryl nailed it, I think. My guess is, JJ, your cute little grandson can throw better than Trump can.

I doubt seriously he could chunk any object with any accuracy a distance of 60 feet 6 inches.
3He can’t cheat at ball throwing like he does at golf.
4Seriously, folks. How can he expect Obama to wiretapp him if he is out at the old ball park?
Besides his tiny hands are perfect for grasping golf balls and that other thing he is known for grabbing.
5Or maybe he’s afraid they’ll make him wear those white pants like Christie and everyone will laugh and laugh and laugh!! You know he can’t stand it when someone makes fun of him.
6I bet Hillary would have nailed it. If she can’t throw, she’d have practiced and learned.
Trump was born rich. That is all he has accomplished in life and his Mom did the heavy lifting.
7Hey, that’s okay – ya really wanna see THIS??

At least Chris Christie looked sane!
8the long and the short of it is that he’s to old and fat and uncoordinated to throw a baseball. I’m a bit amazed that he has the self awareness to realize that. nothing in he’s past would suggest in the slightest that he’s aware enough to know not to do it.
9after seeing the pix of him golfing, from the rear, i’m equally amazed that he doesn’t give that up. or at least do it in secret.
Think about this: when h golfs it with other plutocrats like himself and surrounded by an overdone environment. Baseball is just not a plutocrat’s game.
10He played first base at the military school he went to, and was reportedly scouted by the Phillies. Probably explains why he knows he can’t do it now. I think the main reason for not doing it, though, is that he’d be booed.
11Y’all are wrong on this. ;D
If Orange Foolius feared looking ridiculous, he’d get a haircut and stop modelling his mother’s do. http://img.usmagazine.com/article-leads-horizontal/mary-trump-e4a4a24f-04fa-4c78-9265-39146c6f2f7e.jpg Or, at a minimum he’d consult the WMDBS for where you have your dogs hair trimmed or their anal sacs treated, if not actually schedule an appointment with y’all for a big boy haircut.
Ball, bats & boos escaping the stadium seats? Meh. Donnie has the Secret Service and his very own private security to intercept flying debris, as well as his peeps to edit any boos from the audio and a herd of Gish Gallops to lie and say those boos were meant for Hilz. (If it weren’t for the ever convenient Hilz, Lyin’ Ryan would be seriously concerned about his own safety.)
On this Donnie has his concerns in order. He fears the water girl or boy who might douse him with the water cooler full of beverages and ice. Oy Vey, the shrinkage! That which even appears diminutive in those tiny little vulgarian paws would be beyond invisible despite wet pants.
Even Chief Little Parts apparently has one remaining scintilla of dignity.
12Origuy, for the record, Donnie did not attend “military school.” Fred and Mary sent him off to a fancy reform school that used uniforms to make the place look good to the parents and friends of the parents for a hefty price.
Without independent confirmation, it’s doubtful Donnie played baseball there. Sad. Sorry sprat was probably last to be selected for dodge ball despite volunteering (more likely volunteered by his classmates) to be the target.
13Vladimir said nyet.
14Those tiny hands probably can’t hold a baseball.
15Thank god we don’t have to watch that spectacle, the wind up, the falling off the mound, the next wind up and the ball dropped.
16Kind of like Norton(Jackie Gleason Show) when he was getting ready to write something down. It took forever.
As mentioned before, he couldn’t get it to the plate or close the deal as it were. Trow da bum out!
First – he can’t throw so why embarrass himself
17Second – I think we should let Hillary throw the ball – she won the popular vote.
“He doesn’t have a schedule.”
Anybody else see that one-season TV series about a female VP (Geena Davis) who became president when the top dog died? One of the scenes that stuck with me was Davis walking down a hallway while an aide told her all the things on her schedule for that day. Crikey, you wondered if she’d have time to use the loo. That’s why I didn’t expect Donnie to stick it even this long. I don’t know who’s doing all those things now, but I bet it ain’t him. He still thinks presidents get weekends off (at our $3mil expense every time).
18This is DC, people. He won’t throw out the first pitch for the very same reason he won’t go to the WH Correspondents Dinner. The boos would be overwhelming. Lotsa federal workers are Nats fans. JJ got the numbers exactly right. This ain’t Trump country. Not by a long shot.
19He played baseball in high school/college. Claimed he was the best baseball player in New York City. So, sure: he’s afraid of the crowd reaction to his appearance. Perhaps the signs that the fans would display. It would be grand fun to boo this bum. But not to be. Can you imagine him at a Broadway show? The golf course is his safe haven.
20Ms JJ I am a true baseball nut also. Was at Dodger Stadium last week rorschach World Baseball Classic. Wonderful baseball and USA won the world championship.
21Too uncoordinated to throw, too thin-skinned to run the risk of people booing him (which they certainly would), too easily bored to sit through the whole game. Wouldn’t be eating the stadium food or drinking the beer because he’s a germ-o-phobe. He only likes to mingle with the “little people” when they’re cheering him. That won’t happen in DC, so no first pitch for him.
22He really did have a scheduling conflict – tee-time at one of his golf courses.
23He does a great job of also hurling bullcrap.
