Trump's Second Term

Van Orden: "If Canada had taken Donald Trump up on his offer to become the 51st state, the Canadians would've had gold also"

Is this for real? It's not undeniably true but undeniably dense. I mean, I know people can be stupid, but are they really that stupid? If Canada had become a state, perhaps some of the players would be playing for the US, but there would be NO CANADIAN TEAM AT ALL!
 
The moment couldn't pass without U.S. president Donald Trump getting in on the fun, giving the team a celebratory...but some are unhappy
I'm not sure I want to know what the redacted word was.
Oops, my mistake.

It was a 'celebratory call'.

Usually, I try to trim down stuff I quote, removing unnecessary details (to avoid copyright issues, and to concentrate only on relevant details). I just made the cut at the wrong place.

That said, it looks like the story has a happy ending...

The Women's team have accepted an invitation. Not from Trump, but from rapper Favor Flav (who is apparently a big supporter of women's sports)

From: https://www.the-sun.com/sport/15994281/usa-womens-hockey-accept-flavor-flav-party-offer/
THE US Women’s ice hockey team have accepted an invitation to party with Flavor Flav, according to the music icon. The acceptance comes days after the team...turned down an offer to attend the State of the Union address at the White House... He wrote on social media: “If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite, I’ll host them in Las Vegas"....
 
Van Orden: "If Canada had taken Donald Trump up on his offer to become the 51st state, the Canadians would've had gold also"
Historically, Canada has won 20 gold medals at the men's junior championships (compared to 7 for the USA), 14 gold medals at the olympics (compared to 6 the USA), and 28 gold medals at the world cup (compared to 3 for the Americans).

Yeah, the Americans got olympic gold this year, but I think Canada has a much better record on the podium than the Americans.
 
Before a ball has even been kicked, this summer’s tournament is quickly descending into farcical scenes as the official FIFA Fan Fest for the New York/New Jersey area has also been cancelled, with just four months to go. Officials in New England have threatened to pull the plug on World Cup matches taking place at Gillette Stadium - including Scotland fixtures - if it does not receive vital public safety money.

Quick, FIFA better give Trump another testicle-fondling prize so he can fix the problem.

Seriously, this looks like it will be such a train wreck.... Trump and FIFA competing for the "most corrupt" prize, immigration crackdown that will affect the ability of foreigners to attend (and a toxic environment for those who could attend but will boycott the games out of principle), a federal government that is incompetent in handling both national security and public works projects...

President Trump's State of the Union Address will celebrate 250 glorious years of our nation's independence and excellence, highlighting incredible stories of American heroes throughout the speech.

In one year, President Trump has turned our country around from the brink of disaster, and he will rightly declare the State of Our Union is strong, prosperous and respected.

President Trump will proudly tout his Administration's many record-breaking accomplishments, and also layout an ambitious agenda to continue bringing the American Dream back for working people.

Sure Granny Panties, sure.

The address is rumored to be a long one, so they'll shoot him up with something, which might lead to some interesting incoherencies. Won't be watching though,

The late president of Côte d'Ivoire said it much better :

"Nous étions au bord d’un gouffre, nous avons fait un grand pas en avant!"
We were on the edge of a precipice, we took a big step forward...
