He should be allowed in the MLB HoF Where’s the humanity towards him? Perhaps they should listen to the JoaquinPhoenix 0fficaljoaquin Oscar speech. SecondChances EnoughIsEnough MLB MLBNetwork freePete PeteRose_14

I don't believe the Prince and Princess are tacky, I think they're impressive.

I cannot even imagine Trump sitting through a full baseball game, or any sporting event without getting excessively bored that he is not the center of attention. How far do his executive powers extend?

One piece of crap sticking up for another. How appropriate

He was thrown out of baseball for betting on baseball. If Trump truly knew anything about sports he would realize how bad this is. He is just trying to see how far his reach is in promoting corruption & law breaking.

Pardon me, but who gives a good goddam what Donald 'OJ' Trump thinks?

He doesn’t get to call for that!

He should never be allowed to be inducted into the baseball hall of fame.

Thank God Trump doesn't have the power to pardon Rose.

O M G . . .

Chalk up purist baseball fans as the latest exodus from Trump. Keep it up, POTUS. At this rate, Democrats will get 65% of popular vote in November.

The president can’t do this only Mlb voters can

If you're a crook, this president is bound to support you.

Wow. Trump’s actions supporting cheaters and rapists and crooked traitors continues and he’s still president?!!! There’s no stopping this corrupt president because our Senate excuses him one sin and one cringe at a time. It’s got to stop. 😤

Isn’t strange that realDonaldTrump only seems to support people with no ethics? Gives the Medal Of Honor to a racist misogynist while a 100yr old Tuskegee General sits nearby, Yet fired a courageous Vet, who has fought for America, for telling the truth? TrumpIsCorrupt Scared

One criminal to another

In other newsworthy presidential news, troops are fired upon in Afghanistan.

His subconscious is working overtime. Of course he wants a rule breaker to be elevated to a position of honor. Of course.

This means Rose will never get in. Like getting a charector reference from Dahmer or Gacy

President Trump calls for amoral white men to be rewarded, praised, and admired for cheating.

Yep, anyone that’s unsavory, unethical, criminal, con, or racist. By all means pardon, or give them a medal. That simple.

Yea the Russian mafia can take over baseball next

Wow.... he is getting his hands into everything.

Look! Shiny!

If that doesn't work, maybe Trump will give him the medal of freedom.Right after he pardons his convicts.

He's right.

Not his call

Sure realDonaldTrump likes another cheating. just say no to Presidentbullshit

I never thought I would agree with the Donald but Pete Rose has been punished enough!

Sure. As soon as Shoeless Joe is.

Weren’t there rumours, accusations of Michael Jordan gambling on sports that led to his first retirement? He has been inducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

The Supreme Leader has spoken...

Cheers from Red Deer

Of course no rules,no scruples no morals realDonaldTrump would want this. Anything goes with him.

I'm waiting for him to do this by executive order...

Cheaters stick together.

I was sort of on Pete's side until realDonaldTrump chimed in. Baseball best say that the issue of Pete Rose reinstatement is out of bounds until Trump is no longer POTUS.

After working tirelessly to lower the bar on the normalization of cheating in all things, Trump has succeeded in making Pete Rose's transgressions seem utterly benign.

Of course he does- smh!

Does he even know why he's not in the hall of fame? It's very easy pete. Admit you get on baseball.

Shocking how those who game the system stick together...

I don't think what he wants matters in this situation

About time!!!

Cheaters stick together

Crooks!

Wow! Literally the only time I can think of off the top of my head that I actually agree with Trump.

Can he continue focusing on things like this? Safer that way.

No!!!!

Trump always sticks his nose in everything

Cheque is in the mail Donald.

Nope, not now, not ever

Pete Rose, who is trying to get re-instated, probably doesn't need the kind of mobster help Trump projects.

Pete has met Trump’s cheating prerequisite.

Better than governing. Keep it up Donnie.

Put Charlie Hustle in the Hall! 🔥⚾️🔥

Of course Donald did....
