Watch: LA Dodgers Can't Keep a Straight Face When Trump Snubs Adam Schiff at White House Event

Setting aside politics and personal biases, this writer has consistently maintained that President Donald Trump is, without question, the most entertaining and humorous president America has ever had.

His sharp wit and sense of humor were genuinely reassuring for many voters, especially considering that he was entering office at an older age than his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.

Even Barack Obama, another former commander-in-chief, appeared to enjoy Trump’s charisma the last time they shared a public moment.

But you don’t have to take this writer’s word for it.

Just ask the reigning World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The team visited the White House on Monday for the traditional champions’ visit, a calm and controversy-free event this time around.

(Contrast that with Trump’s first term, when several progressive athletes and teams skipped the tradition and made headlines for doing so.)

Leave it to Donald Trump—also a WWE Hall of Famer—to bring a bit of pro-wrestling flair to the occasion with a jab aimed at some of his familiar political foes.

And honestly, it couldn’t have been directed at more fitting targets.

While addressing the press and guests at the podium, Trump (as he often does) appeared to go off-script, dropping a comment that seemed to reference California Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla. And the Dodgers’ response? Just listen:

No, the writer isn’t behind that social media account with the caption “Funniest @POTUS of all time,” though he definitely agrees. Even Trump’s harshest detractors would have to acknowledge that the crowd’s laughter sounded completely genuine.

“We have a couple of senators here,” Trump said, with his trademark comic pacing. Then he delivered the punchline: “I just don’t particularly like them, so I won’t introduce them.”

The room erupted in laughter — including the Dodgers standing behind him.

Even Trump himself couldn’t resist breaking into a wide grin.

He attempted to return to the prepared remarks, but the continued laughter made him pause and smile once more.

“I didn’t think it was that big a deal,” he said, prompting even more chuckles.

It should be noted that spokespeople for both Schiff and Padilla later confirmed to The Hill that neither senator was actually present during Trump’s remarks. That detail does somewhat reduce the impact of the zinger.

Still, hearing such a comment from the man who was overwhelmingly elected president had to sting.

As pointed out earlier, both Schiff and Padilla arguably earned the jab. They’ve become known for their persistent criticism of Trump — often boiling down to nothing more than “Trump bad, me against.” Padilla may be a newer player, but Schiff has been at this for a while.

Schiff, in particular, was one of the loudest voices pushing the now-debunked theory that Russia played a decisive role in Trump’s 2016 victory.

For pushing that narrative, Trump wasted no time targeting him with ridicule — infamously dubbing him “pencil neck” during his first term.
