Trump Hugs Nationals Player from Behind in Viral Titanic-Like Moment During Team's White House Visit

It was a Titanic-like moment Twitter couldn't resist.

President Donald Trump on Monday hugged Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki from behind during the team’s White House visit — for a moment inadvertently recreating Leonardo DiCaprio‘s famous pose with Kate Winslet in the 1997 movie.

“King of the world,” the Los Angeles Occasions tweeted.

Trump’s embrace was prompted when Suzuki, there celebrating the Nationals’ World Series win with most of his teammates, was invited to deal with the gang. He donned a “Make America Nice Again” hat as he walked as much as the microphone, to Trump’s seen delight (and dismay from some on-line).

“I really like him! Awww,” the president, 73, stated as he reached from behind Suzuki to embrace Suzuki throughout the chest earlier than shaking his shoulders fondly.

Suzuki, chatting with the gang of hundreds on the White Home South Garden, stated merely, “I really like you all.”

“What a job he did. I didn’t know that was going to happen,” Trump stated afterward, apparently referring to Suzuki’s hat selection.

Many on Twitter have been quick to note the strange optics of the second — some comparing it sarcastically to fondling, an echo of Trump’s earlier comments about groping ladies; while others famous how uncommon it was provided that attendees had twice loudly booed the president through the World Collection final week and a number of Nationals players opted to skip Monday’s go to.

“‘President Donald Trump then reached around to feel Kurt Suzuki’s nipples.’ This is able to have seemed such an odd factor to write down in 2010,” sportswriter Dan Szymborski tweeted.

The parody Twitter account DPRK Information Service wrote, “Donald Trump gropes breasts of Kurt Suzuki, demonstrating lack of sexism.”

“Just Donald Trump & Kurt Suzuki cosplaying MAGA Titanic,” one other Twitter consumer wrote, while a Trump fan gushed, “Properly I know whose @Nationals jersey I’ll be buying!”

Conservative writer Seth Mandel tweeted, “Trump chest-fondling Kurt Suzuki in a MAGA hat behind a podium with the presidential seal is a tremendous artifact that future societies will someday unearth and doubt its authenticity.”

In line with reporters at Monday’s event, about 5,300 individuals have been in attendance.

“We’re honored to be right here in the long tradition of honoring champions in the White House,” the Nationals’ basic manager, Mike Rizzo, stated.

Trump, who could not resist referring again to himself, stated, “America fell in love with the Nats baseball … it’s all they needed to talk about — that and impeachment. I like Nats baseball rather more.”

Suzuki’s teammate Ryan Zimmerman, a primary baseman, introduced Trump with a Nationals jersey with the number “45” — for 45th president.

“We’d … wish to thanks for protecting everybody here protected in our nation and persevering with to make America the best country to reside on the earth,” stated Zimmerman, 35.

Sean Doolittle, a Nationals pitcher, was the primary player to verify he would not be attending Monday’s White House occasion, telling The Washington Post: “At the finish of the day, as much as I needed to be there with my teammates and share that experience with my teammates, I can’t do it. I just can’t do it.”

Different players who declined to attend on Monday included Javy Guerra, Anthony Rendon, Victor Robles, Joe Ross, Michael A. Taylor and Wander Suero, according to the Post.

“There’s loads of things, policies that I disagree with, but at the end of the day, it has extra to do with the divisive rhetoric and the enabling of conspiracy theories and widening the divide on this nation,” Doolittle, 33, advised the paper. “My spouse and I stand for inclusion and acceptance, and we’ve completed work with refugees, people who come from, you already know, the ‘s—hole nations.’ ”

“I've a brother-in-law who has autism, and is a guy that mocked a disabled reporter,” Doolittle stated. “How would I clarify that to him that I hung out with anyone who mocked the best way that he talked or the best way that he moves his palms? I can’t get previous that stuff.”
