On Monday, President Donald Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to former New York Yankee and five-time World Series champ Mariano Rivera.
This afternoon at the @WhiteHouse, it was my great honor to present our nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to American baseball legend @MarianoRivera. Congratulations on this extraordinary achievement, Mo! https://t.co/nzOeqFNb3C

The best part of the ceremony, of course, was the White House playing Rivera’s walk-up music, “Enter Sandman” by Metallica, as he stepped forward to receive his medal. C-SPAN was on it:

Something tells me that Metallica is going to tell Trump to never walk out to their song again
— Patrick Shanley (@ptshanman) September 16, 2019
And something tells us the White House will tell Metallica, “Too bad.”
Awesome!

I don't care about the politics, but this @POTUS and every other after him should ditch Hail to the Chief and make entrances to Enter Sandman from this point forward. @Metallica

Not a Yankees fan. Not a Yankees hater either. This is freaking sweet.

I honestly thought @CarpeDonktum somehow got a hold of CSPAN's twitter and posted this ?
— Alan (@ComradexSnarky) September 16, 2019
Yes, @realDonaldTrump walked out to Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' today (because it was a ceremony for Mariano Rivera and that's Rivera's nickname).
But never forget, #Beto wore a DRESS SHIRT to a METALLICA concert. How is anyone not #canceled after that?!? pic.twitter.com/m5s0vYNztf

I bet the Spanish-speaking Irish boy will throw away his Metallica memorabilia after this. ???
