(8,821 posts)it's said that Trump kills everything he touches...however, hockey jocks are on social media...if they can read, which is doubtful, they know Trump is evil personified...and yet they willing walked into the Oval Office and joked with the degenerate that covets their medals...
I understand 5 of the players have a conscience and refused the invite...good for them...

In addition to Jake, Kyle, Jake G, Brock and Jackson earn my respect. The other guys fuck them. This isn't normal times.
