Presumably why he bought the pageant in the first place.

Barging into Ivanka’s bathroom once he heard the shower turn off just wasn’t affording the same thrills, not since she turned 18.

Mind you, that shrill woman who’d yell “Mister President Trump will Make America Great Again!” in the middle of meals is likely to blame the Mexicans, or them foreigners, or maybe it will be the fault of the transexual black Jews-not-for-Jesus living in a secret compound under Hillary’s basement.

Basement? That’s what the pizza parlor is for.

Because that worked out so well for the President who said it 15 years ago.

There’s speculation that Trump had no idea that the phrase “mission accomplished” had any particular resonance or history or infamy.

I find that credible. Trump has probably never paid attention to any news that wasn’t about him. Whatever Bush was doing back in 2003, swanning around in a flight suit on an aircraft-carrier deck, simply wouldn’t have interested Trump.

Not enough medals on his chest, and would it have killed him to wear a nice sash?

2003? Thump can’t remember what he said earlier today, let alone what someone \*else \*said 15 years ago.

Beer machines in every room, and President Stonecold driving a Zamboni over the White House lawn. Sounds like fun 😃

They would have detracted from his parachute-harness-enhanced crotch.

Yes. He’s not exactly conversant with history. I guess we must count ourselves lucky if he doesn’t bust out with “_work sets you free_” or “_we had to destroy the village in order to save it_” or “_the only good Indian is a dead Indian_.”

He didn’t release this year’s taxes.

Trump: “Presidents have to file taxes? I’d either be paying myself or stealing from myself, so I’m not gonna 'cause I’m smart.”

Hell, he probably thinks that he invented the phrase, the way he supposedly came up with “fake news”.

Actually Trump has used it before. It was in regard to his losing a bid to buy the Buffalo NFL team. He claimed he won because (somehow) his actions kept the franchise in 'Merica.

You could be right. (And if he were shown photos of the 2003 banner, he’d continue to claim he coined the phrase.)

Well, she was getting some media attention for her decisive stance. Seconds were spent on it—seconds that _could_ have been devoted to The Center of the Universe, instead!

(And if undercutting the UN ambassador harms US interests, well, that will just ensure that Vlad will be extra-friendly during their next phone call.)
