With an abundance of madness swirling around him in February, Donald Trump has decided to forego the madness of March. President Trump declined ESPN’s invitation to fill out an NCAA bracket on a March Madness televised special, the way Barack Obama had done before him. ESPN reached out to the White House to see if Trump would consider it. However, according to a spokesman for the worldwide leader: “We expressed our interest to the White House in continuing the presidential bracket. They have respectfully declined.”

“... as Obama had done before him...”

They make it sound like Obama established a precedent of biblical significance, picking his basketball brackets after a brief walk on water.

Trump is treating the White House like the people’s house. Guess what? ESPN sucks, and they deserve the back of the POTUS hand.

As soon as the gang at Disney took over, ESPN started making their "Body Issue," where they put out page after page of naked sports stars. When less than 1 percent of humanity starts pushing their crap on the other 99% of course people are going to gag. When you were a little kid, did it ever come into your mind to see your sports star naked? Of course not.

ESPN is more to the left than CNN/MSNBC

Smart move on Trump’s part.

Not only does he have far more pressing matters to deal with, but every loss on his bracket would sure to be discussed as “insane, stupid, and probably racist.”

Go home ESPN. And leave our ball.

While I am a hockey fan, I disagree. The president has far more important things to do than handicap a playoff series of a pastime he likely doesn’t even follow.

Substance over vapidity.

President Trump is an adult so the left has to learn no NCAA bracket and no “boxers or briefs” questions - just grown up stuff like actually showing up for work.

No need to fill out a bracket this year...Zags are going all the way!!!

I learned my lesson ten years ago, I used my heart when filling one out. Now, I simply enjoy the games. Same way with Fantasy Football, it takes away from the entertainment value of the game.

How did Obama’s picks do? I seem to remember he was worse than chance, or maybe it was the Obama curse. Meanwhile, didn’t Trump call the Superbowl?
