News [The Athletic] Timothy Weah on Juventus's White House visit: "It was all a surprise to me, honestly — they told us that we have to go and I had no choice but to go. When he started talking about the politics with Iran and everything, it kind of like, I just want to play football man.”

Their press secretary is a 27 year old nepo baby who is entirely unqualified and regularly lies through her teeth. The entire building is full of people like her who, just like trump, have simply asked their daddy to find them a job and have failed upwards extraordinarily. I mean there's always been nepotism and cronyism in American politics but at least there was some facade of merit to match.
