Tune in Obama Center opening to piss off Trump

I’ve got my TV tuned to the MSNow broadcast of the opening ceremonies of the Obama Presidential Center even though I can’t watch. I want to boost the viewership numbers just to piss off Trump.

BTW as I tuned in I saw JB Pritzker. He looks presidential with the same portly physique of so many of the early Presidents.

I wonder how she'll take Bono singing Michelle? That was perfect.
