In a shocking turn of events, ex-MLB star, Bobby “Big Bat” Johnson, has made a complete 180 on his previous criticisms of President Trump after the announcement of a ceasefire in a long-standing feud between the two. Johnson, who had been a vocal critic of Trump’s policies and antics, was seen eating his words in a public statement.
“I never thought I’d see the day where I would have to eat my words, but I have to give credit where credit is due,” said Johnson in a press conference. “I mean, who would have thought that Trump could actually accomplish something positive for once? I guess miracles do happen.”
Johnson’s sudden change of heart has left many scratching their heads, including his former teammates who were used to hearing him rant about Trump on a daily basis. “I never thought I’d see the day when Bobby would defend Trump of all people,” said his former teammate, Jimmy “The Slammer” Smith. “I guess pigs really can fly.”
When asked about his newfound admiration for Trump, Johnson replied, “Well, I gotta hand it to him, he really knows how to negotiate. I mean, if he can bring peace to a feud that has been going on for years, then maybe there’s hope for world peace after all. Who knows, maybe I’ll even start wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.”
While some are still in disbelief over Johnson’s sudden change of heart, others are taking it in stride. “Hey, if Trump can win over Big Bat Johnson, then maybe there’s hope for the rest of us too,” said one fan.
Only time will tell if Johnson’s newfound admiration for Trump will last, but for now, it seems like anything is possible in the world of politics and sports. Who knows, maybe next we’ll see LeBron James joining forces with Trump to make America dunk again.
