It turns out the President is just as bored in quarantine as we are, although he has a little more on his plate than the average sports media aficionado.

Donald Trump took time out of his busy day trying to contain a global pandemic to admire the work of NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. Specifically, Trump recounted a previous NFL Draft memory of Jackson's, with Packers safety Jaire Alexander reacting to his former Louisville teammate's selection.

Yes, the pick really did work out for the Ravens. Now, why don't we send more ventilators to Baltimore? No? Okay, yeah we're not in sync.

The origin of Trump and Jackson's apparent...uh...mutual respect is unknown. In fact, they're perhaps the most unlikely friends in popular culture. LJ, however, was appreciative to Trump despite the randomness of said shoutout.

Whether you agree with Trump's politics or not, every tweet during this pandemic feels like a waste of time. Providing motivational bumps to professional athletes is even more odd behavior from a man whose actions none of us have been able to predict since 2016.
