VIDEO: Donald Trump Takes Shohei Ohtani To The Oval Office And ‘Instructs’ Him To Pose For A Photo With Him

Donald Trump and the L.A. Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani are in the news! You know, the amazing baseball player who can pitch and hit like a champ? Well, Trump wanted a photo with him in the Oval Office, but he didn’t just ask. He decided to “instruct” Ohtani to pose for the picture with him.

I mean, can you even imagine being told what to do by the president? It’s pretty weird.

The World Series winners made the customary trip to the highest office in the land this week, and Trump was visibly star-struck by the talented hitter.

After the United States President got the formalities out of the way, with speeches and such taking place, he took the team to the Oval Office, where he strangely made Ohtani take a photo next to the Declaration of Independence.

The POTUS was heard saying, “What a guy,” in a clip shared to X by his assistant Dan Scavino.

Ohtani only confirmed he would be joining his team on the trip last week, so Trump must have been worried he might not get to see the Dodgers superstar up close. And he made the moment count.

The Japanese player had remained silent on his plans, leading to rife doubts, especially given concerns over how people might feel in his native Japan. But he let everyone know he would make the trip last week.

He made the revelation via Japanese media, much to the relief of lots of fans. We imagine Trump was just as relieved.

I can’t say I understand the whole situation, but it’s definitely one of the stranger encounters we’ve seen come out of the Trump presidency. Just another day in the world of politics, I guess.
