Jake Arrieta didn’t waste any time weighing in on the shocking results of the United States presidential election.
The star pitcher for the Chicago Cubs appeared to revel in Donald Trump’s surprising win over Hillary Clinton, taking a shot at Hollywood on Wednesday morning.
Arrieta sent the following tweet, apparently aimed at actors and other Hollywood power brokers who said they’d move to Canada if Trump won the presidency.
