And then earlier this week when the Eagles phoned in to confirm, they said, “Maximum 10 people, more like three to five, and only one player.” Nick Foles, the quarterback. That’s when Trump said… And the mascot, they were gonna send the mascot. Trump said, “That’s crazy. We’ll just cancel the thing.” But they had originally reported 70 were gonna show up. I think it was… I actually do think… I think it was an effort that they were going to try to humiliate the president.
