Viral German soccer fan Freddy invited for White House visit as fairy-tale trip across America continues

Freddy, the German soccer fan who has gone viral live-tweeting his fairy-tale experience in the United States, has another major visit on his docket.

Ambassador Nick Adams, who is the Special Presidential Envoy for American, Tourism, Exceptionalism and Values in the Trump administration, confirmed to Fox News Digital that Freddy has been invited to the White House.

Adams said he caught wind of Freddy early on during his trip to America and immediately became a "massive fan." Adams called Freddy’s journey to the United States a "fabulous thing for our country."

"Freddy is one of hundreds of thousands of visitors coming to the USA and experiencing the incredible hospitality and generosity of the American people," Adams told Fox News Digital in a recent interview over the phone.

"There is no place like America. We are the largest, loudest and most exciting destination on earth. And the things like unlimited chips and salsa, Buc-ee's, Bass Pro Shops, Route 44s at Sonic delivered by young men and women on roller skates delivered right to your car door. These are all experiences and opportunities that you can't get anywhere else. We are one country, but really the 50 states are like 50 different countries."

Adams said he knew he had to reach out when Freddy declared his love for Country Music star Ella Langley.

"I think it was the Ella Langley declaration that he was a big Ella Langley fan. So am I. And I thought this is exactly the kind of kind of guy that is taken to America. What a great ambassador for our country. What a great person to have representing what America is really like," Adams said.

Freddy has struck a nerve. Not only were the fans singing the national anthem at the top of their lungs but just about all the players were singing it and holding their hands over their hearts. Of course, there were a few who didn't but compared NFL, MLB and NBA fans they were unashamedly patriotic.

Too bad soccer is so gay.

Because snobby royalty loving bureaucrats with lifetime positions just love being bootlickers to the leftist intelligentsia. It gives them purpose. And they hate that a private American company launched 99% (1027)of orbital payloads in Q1 of this year. Oh and orange man bad, just ask any Euro Nazi/Islamicist collaborator.

Had he gone to a range and fired a Ruger Super Blackhawk yet? That is a quintessentially American experience.

He was at a Bass Pro Shop and tweeted “they have a shooting range in this place!!” He then went to Buccee’s, took pictures and tweeted, “OMG! This is a gas station!!”

I’ve been following this guy on twitter and its been fun...the replies have been even better...

A few days ago when he tweeted he was in Fairhope, Alabama and would leave for New Orleans the following day, there was a sign on the big “WELCOME TO LA.” sign that said “Welcome Freddy!!”

Evidently there were huge billboards when he entered Oklahoma City that said “WELCOME FREDDY!!”

Its been a lot of fun watching...

We have had several Chinese students in our home through our church, mostly young women. They all want to “shoot the guns.” They take countless videos and at home, they are rock stars.

Good for Freddy!! I hope the remainder of his visit continues to be enjoyable and safe for him. I don’t do social media, but I’ve enjoyed seeing articles posted here about the fans who have come here, and had such a positive experience.

My wife is Chinese. I taught her to shoot the gun of her choice, which is a .45 ACP Kimber Compact Carry II with Crimson Trace. When she was ready to shoot she pointed it safely down range, drew and dropped the slide, turned to me and said, “Rock and Roll!”.

For boisterous expression, warmth and hospitality he may have picked the best region the US has to offer.
