Suzuki's name began trending in the United States on Monday afternoon after a video of President Donald Trump giving the Washington Nationals catcher a hug from behind that some called 'awkward' was shared on social media.
In his speech at the White House on Monday praising the Nationals for their performance and sportsmanship, Trump mentioned an"amazing three-run homer by Kurt Suzuki." He then called the 36-year-old player to the podium.
Suzuki appeared on cue, donning a red ball cap emblazoned with Trump's motto,"Make America Great Again"—an article of clothing emblematic of Trump's supporters since his 2016 campaign—and raised both of his hands triumphantly."I love him!" Trump exclaimed as he gave the ball player what ABC News called an"awkward" embrace.
I love you all. Thank you Mr. President," Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki says, putting on a âMake America Great Againâ hat and prompting an awkward hug from Pres. Trump.
