Trump not happy with Fernando Mendoza not coming to the White House
Fernando Mendoza skips White House appearance.
The Indiana Hoosiers football team visited the White House on Monday to visit Donald Trump. It’s tradition that teams that win the national championship in football visit the White House; yesterday was the Hoosiers' turn. But one face was absent from the White House visit, and that was former Hoosiers QB Fernando Mendoza.
Mendoza had said weeks prior that he would not be attending the White House visit with his former team because he didn’t want to miss OTA’s. Despite his explanation, Trump was still displeased with his absence. “The reason he’s not here — he was so nice, he called because he has actually .
. . he’s a big fan of ours,” Trump said.
“You wouldn’t believe it, because he didn’t show up. I’m not happy, but that’s OK. The reason he didn’t, because he’s at spring training, right?
