STERLING, VA — President Trump was at his golf club in Sterling this weekend, prompting comedian and actor Patton Oswalt to jokingly offer up prayers for his hometown.

Oswalt -- best known for his starring role in Ratatouille as well as his numerous appearances on sitcoms -- made the remark while tweeting a video of Trump golfing.

A military brat, Oswalt and his family settled in Sterling when he was a child, and he graduated from Broad Run High School in Ashburn in 1987. He once performed a bit during his standup ridiculing Sterling, which you can find here (some language).
