Trump Torn a New One Over Dehumanizing ‘Tomahawk Chop’ at World Series, ‘Such a Tiny Hand!’

You knew he was going to do it.

Many people, after watching former President Donald Trump do the traditional “tomahawk chop” at Game 4 of the World Series, speculated that maybe getting to perform the offensive motion on television was his whole reason for going to the game.

After all, Trump has repeatedly expressed his distaste for baseball, and even called for a boycott of the sport entirely after MLB moved the All-Star Game over an oppressive new Georgia voting law.

In the end, however, Trump shelled out the reported fifty grand that it cost for a ticket, got a suite, and waited for his turn to join his wife Melania in disrespecting Native Americans with a smile on his face.

He certainly wasn’t there to enjoy the game or the atmosphere. The last time he went to a World Series game, the crowd booed him mercilessly and chanted “lock him up” when his face came on the big screen. He didn’t even show up, according to USA Today, until about 15 minutes before the first pitch.

Any real baseball fan knows you need time to get a beer and a hot dog before the game starts.

The internet did not let Trump off the hook for his blatant display.

This whole affair was surprising to no one. You can expect to see Trump everywhere there’s an excuse for him to act like a jerk in public.
