I’m disappointed that they cited “scheduling conflicts”.
I get it, politics being politics I understand why they wouldn’t want to tell the US president to go fuck himself… but I very much wanted them to tell him to go fuck himself.
Personally, I find it incredibly funny that they "don't have time" for the most powerful politician in the world
I'd imagine that the ladies on this team have a lot of experience giving the brush-off to creepy little trolls like Trump.
I have to return...some video tapes.
"Scheduling conflicts" like, "I'm washing my hair that night", are perfectly valid.
I just hope that at the same time as the state of the union the team has their own celebratory event and posts lots of photos on social media as a FU to Trump.
The scheduling conflict was "literally anything else"
I wonder if it would be okay to say that they don't want to, because they wouldn't feel safe with him in the same room
