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.
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
"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.
