It is customary for presidents or former presidents to receive an honor when it comes to sports like when a team wins a championship, they might visit the White House and present an honorary jersey.
For some reason, however, when former President Donald Trump recently received such an honor, it triggered liberals, who were unable to comprehend such a thing apparently.
Megan Baynes, who has pronouns in her Twitter bio, wrote a brief article about it for British outlet Sky News, and for some reason, had to make sure that readers knew that Trump received the honor “despite never practicing the sport.”
A Facebook post on the World Taekwondo Headquarters page read:
Kukkiwon president Lee Dong-sup awarded the Honorary 9th Dan Certificate to former president of United States, Donald Trump on November 19th at Florida.
Former president Trump responded that “It is my honor to receive Honorary Dan Certificate and I think Taekwondo is magnificent martial art for self-defense. I wish to see Kukkiwon Taekwondo Team’s demonstration.”
* This ceremony is not related any other political issues.
Many liberals were triggered by the post and some suggested in the comments that they were renouncing their ties to the sport, claiming to have put in years of work.
One liberal Twitter user gave a similar statement as she claimed, “Lee Dong-seop has disrespected Taekwondo students all over the world giving Trump an honorary belt. My daughter is thinking of quitting – after earning through years of work – her third degree Black belt. This is an insult to her efforts and to her very being.”

Another liberal Twitter user suggested, “Fake black belt. Fake Purple Heart. Lost the popular vote. The only thing Trump has ever earned in his life is scorn.”

It seems that liberals like to make sure that nobody can have any fun but them, as that is the way they try to get people to see things their way, by bullying them.
