According to CNN, the ex-POTUS faces 30+ charges related to business fraud.

In non-honor of 45, we decided to take a look back at all the times Trump really stepped in it when it comes to sports. You may think of TFG (The Former Guy)as solely a former President of the United States or maybe a sketchy business owner, but you’d be wrong! Because TFG is nothing if not sporty. He plays tennis! He owned a USFL team! He recently won a completely normal golf tournament! He also thinks Robert Saleh is a better coach than Vince Lombardi!

So join us, won’t you? As we take a walk down memory lane and remember some of our best (sports-related) TFG content.

Per usual, Trump is a pathetic, bloated old man with a shitty take.

Trump is not in favor of bringing Britney Griner home and we can all guess why.

A former President who was unable to secure the release of Paul Whelan during his presidency, supported leaving behind a black, LBTQ athlete in Russia. Who saw that plot twist coming?

Trump bullied the NFL for years and now they’re both being bullied by Covid-19

Carron Phillips on how large segments of the population and sports community followed Trump’s lead on Covid-19 throughout 2020. If nothing else, Trump was more obsessed with spreading Covid-19 and achieving “herd immunity,” while pretending everything was business as usual for the sake of saving himself.

Trump Is The Main Reason We Won’t Have College Football

One of many vacuous issues Trump was more fixated on than the pandemic was the college football season. He needed the distraction from his plummeting popularity numbers. Yet, one of the ironies is that his apathy for Covid nearly cost college football an entire season.
