'Last f**king straw': Trump interrupts Bachelor in Paradise for Afghanistan speech and fans were miffed
The 21 August episode of the show was partially delayed for the airing of the president's remarks on his military strategy.
Week 2 of Bachelor in Paradise season 4 kicked off with a major speed bump. No, it was not because one of the contestants got themselves into a spot of trouble or they could not find the rose for the highly anticipated and much delayed rose ceremony.
It was because the 21 August episode was interrupted midway to air President Donald Trump's speech on military strategy and his plans to tackle terrorism in Afghanistan.
#Bachelornation due to the President's address, #BachelorInParadise will be suspended and resume when he finishes. You won't miss a minute

"Sadly The President's speech will eclipse #BachelorInParadise tonight. But ABC will be showing it later for those that get Trump'd," Chris Harrison, the show's host tweeted.
ABC did, however, continue the program after the Potus' speech but fans were none too pleased about being made to wait even longer for the season's first rose ceremony.
"Also never got to the end of #BachelorInParadise bc trump interrupted me and cut my recording short so f**k u trump reason 231718 to hate u," Twitter user Anna Laine wrote online. Others expressed equally strong emotions, some calling for his impeachment while others described it as "the last f**king straw".
"Me: I don't think Trump can get any worse. Trump: *interrupts #BachelorinParadise to make speech*. Me: IMPEACH," one user posted.
Bachelor nation: WE ARE FINALLY GETTING A ROSE CEREMONY !!!

Trump does a lot to hate, but today was the last straw when his speech ruined my recording of Bachelor In Paradise
