Three weeks ago, Donald Trump was allegedly invited to throw out the first pitch at Saturday's Red Sox-Yankees game. Trump declined the offer two days after he announced it, saying his was much too busy with the coronavirus and the economy "and much else".
What really happened was Trump was jealous because the Nationals had invited Dr. Fauci to throw out the first pitch at the Nationals' Opening Day game. So Trump did what he does best: he lied, talking up a fictitious invitation from the Yankees. Trump's bogus story unraveled extremely quickly and within 48 hours he back-tracked, tweeting that he had declined the "invitation" that he created.
