It took three days and 5 rounds on the 2025 NLF draft, however Shedeur Sanders has lastly been recruited onto a pro-football crew, and the Cleveland Browns are fortunate to have him. In a shocking, but not that stunning twist, essentially the most audacious administration in current historical past believes that President Donald Trump deserves some credit score for making it occur.
OK, so White Home press secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t come proper out and say Deion Sanders‘ son owes Trump a “thanks” and a cookout invite simply because the president posted some pandering-a** message about Shedeur getting snubbed by “silly” NFL franchise house owners. Nevertheless, when requested if Trump deserved some credit score by Fox Information host Peter Doocy, she implied that “the information” present he does.
For individuals who missed it, final Friday, Trump grew to become the kagillionth individual on the web to specific outrage over Sanders going undrafted after the primary spherical of NFL draft picks.
Trump’s Fact Social publish didn’t point out that he knew actually something about soccer (I actually didn’t want the “about soccer” a part of the sentence), but it surely did function Trump’s clear effort to seem relatable to the frequent man. And by mentioning the Sanders gene pool, Trump additionally managed to make his in any other case feckless publish sound like an public sale block commercial.
“What’s improper with NFL house owners, are they STUPID?” Trump wrote. “Deion Sanders was an important faculty soccer participant, and was even higher within the NFL. He’s additionally an excellent coach, streetwise and sensible! Subsequently, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He needs to be ‘picked’ IMMEDIATELY by a crew that desires to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hi there to your fantastic father!”
(Facet observe: I don’t know why Trump put the phrase “picked” in quotes, until he thinks it’s a rarely-used “old school time period” like the phrase “groceries.”)
So, a bunch for Fox Information — the community that retains its lights on by ensuring its contributors preserve their heads screwed into Trump’s rust-orange hind elements — asks Leavitt Trump made Sanders’ drafting occur, and as an alternative of laughing the notion off and dismissing it as absolutely the absurdity it’s, she opted to entertain the thought in essentially the most passive-aggressive manner potential.
“All I’ll say is the president put out an announcement and some rounds later, he was drafted,” Leavitt stated. “So I feel the information converse for themselves on that one.”
Leavitt isn’t even conflating correlation with causation right here, as a result of there is no such thing as a correlation. Sanders wasn’t drafted till a full day and a number of rounds after Trump’s “Hey, take a look at me being the president you possibly can have a beer with”-a** publish. And, if we’re being actual, he most likely solely posted it for political brownie factors as a result of he at present holds the lowest 100-day mark approval score of any president since Dwight Eisenhower. (That’s rattling close to seven many years in the past, bruh.)
Anyway, congrats and better of luck to Shedeur Sanders. We are able to’t wait to see you on the NFL area. (Trump feels this fashion, too, however he may be desirous about a distinct area.)
