Idiots. No fucking way I’d go there for his photo op. Grow some balls, guys!

Also, how does being a great sports player or in a great, winning team make one a “patriot?” Donald, you are such a frickin’ loser. A dumb loser.

I just wish I could have sent an Emperor Penguin instead.

Donnie could really relate to that…

I wonder if anybody bothered to tell DT that a lot of those “wonderful patriots” are not US citizens.

Meanwhile, on behalf of their Evangelical base, VP Pence told Bettman the new religious freedom rules bar the NHL from enforcing any penalties for cross checking.

President Donald Trump is honoring the Stanley Cup winning Pittsburgh Penguins, calling them “true champions and incredible patriots.”

and singled out the achievements of playoff MVP Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and American Phil Kessel, among others.

Now I’m happy that Tortorella will never make this trip, but still…

Of the 2017 Penguins, the forwards are 4/14 American. The defense is 5/8 American. The two goalies are non-American. So that’s 9 out of 24 players that are even US-born. But I reckon they can be “incredible patriots” to whatever country they’re from.

They can be American patriots even if they’re not Americans. Just like Putin is.

Well, at least 36% (8/22) are actual “wonderful patriots”, assuming those 36% agree wholeheartedly with Trump.
(next time Trump should pick a sport where 2/3 of the athletes are foreigners he would like to ban).

Calling a hockey team by the name of a football team seems kind of odd. I suppose US hockey teams do play against Canadian teams sometimes so these players might somehow be considered patriotic …at least to Trump? He could have at least dyed his CombOver black like a hockey puck in honor of the celebration.

So are they patriots to Russia, Canada, Finland? Most of their players are citizens of other countries. What a moron. Or is that F------ Moron?

Trump meets with white guys from foreign countries, calls them “great patriots.” Pence attends game with mostly black American citizens, walks out to show his disgust.

Trump’s simple-mindedness at work, yet again. Trump needs to understand the abbreviations CAN and SWE aren’t some new states in the Union.

The Penguin’s roster:

That was the first question that came to mind when Preshitident Anusmouth-Putindickholster called them “incredible patriots” just like his imported fake silicone-stuffed so-called wives.

…and glued on a tiny little mustache to complete the look.
