Preoccupied with his pursuit to Make America Great Again, United States President Donald Trump won't be attending Opening Day after all.

The Washington Nationals announced Tuesday that the White House has declined the invitation for Trump to throw out the ceremonial first pitch on Opening Day at Nationals Park.

"The White House has announced that President Trump will not be joining us due to a scheduling conflict. As all of you know, inviting the president is a 100-plus year tradition here in Washington baseball. It began with the Senators back in 1910 and when baseball came back to Washington the Nats continued that tradition."

It was reported earlier Tuesday that the Nationals and the president were in potential talks to take part in the Opening Day festivities, which also included Trump taking part in the first inning of MASN's broadcast.
