My guess Is the decision to do that is far too political with how divisive this election was.
It'll probably happen this summer once both sides calm down with their bitterness or exuberance.

All elections are divisive. Trump is The President. Obviously someone liked him or he would not have won. All the snow flakes need to pull up their big boy panties and get over it.

Bama visited early March of last year....Ohio St. did it the year before in late April. Maybe we fit somewhere into that time frame....

I think the players should have a say.

Donald Trump as a Racist. Same could be said for Hispanics and members of the FGTB-Q community.
I am a 60 year affluent old white guy. I don't think Trump is a racist and would think it as a nice recognition to go to the WH. But it is not about me or any of the fans. It should be about the players present, past and future and their comfort level with such a visit. Clemson also needs to consider how it will be portrayed in the media.
I have learned through leadership training over the last 35 years that my thinking doesn't necessarily equal other people's thinking. Having never been a member of a minority, it is important to actively take into consideration their thinking and positions.
Now some may think this is a bunch of diversity and inclusion BS, but I challenge those to consider whether Clemson would have won the National Champioship with a non-diverse team.
A recognition visit to the WH Is not simple a decision given the existing political environment. I suggest the players feelings and long term best interest of Clemson and Clemson FB be taken into consideration.
HTH ...

Trust me when I say most players on the team do not wanna meet Trump... If they had a say, majority of them wouldn't take the trip.. But that'll hurt a couple people feelings if that happens

If Trump has not been impeached by then, I would rather see them stay home.

Who is president doesn't matter. You are invited to the White House you go. Besides after our loss last year Trump commented how really good clemson was and he predicted Clemson to win this year. Good enough for me.

I'm not a Trump supporter or a Republican but am really sick of how ridiculous and childish many of you liberals on Facebook and Tigernet have acted since your equally terribly candidate lost the election. Please get over yourselves.

the football players. Plus, Obama was never an insulting bigot to you.
Trump, however, has been one nasty mean spirited arsehole to the African American community, one of many communities that he has offended at every opportunity. That, and his love of all thing Russian and Putin, have been the only two constants of his campaign.
White Trumpkins are clueless as to the anger of the African American community towards the orange occupant of the White House.
