I’m disappointed that they cited “scheduling conflicts”.
I get it, politics being politics I understand why they wouldn’t want to tell the US president to go fuck himself… but I very much wanted them to tell him to go fuck himself.
Personally, I find it incredibly funny that they "don't have time" for the most powerful politician in the world
