When somebody sawed a chunk of the border wall to get through, Trump’s reaction was “you just pop it back in.” Not “Gee, I guess the wall needs better and more sturdy construction,” but the idea that it was still salvageable, like the way he shirked repairs on his properties to cut down on expenses. ---

Something about airports during the revolutionary war. Love letters to Kim Jong-un. Although I think these are actually more embarrassing than amusing. ---

Which reminds me of the moron, in front of a crowd that should have laughed him off the stage, claimed the Air Force had actual invisible planes. Not just stealth- invisible. Why he didn’t insist AF1 be rendered invisible is a mystery for the ages. ---

Then there was the spectacle of the great hotelier, presumably owner of top notch dining facilities, proudly posing in front of a big table piled high with boxes of cold fast food hamberders. They were for some sports team he was hosting. ---

Melania smacking his hand away. “It’s like a little mushroom” His ‘Doctor’ that wrote the letter about Trumps ‘health’. Navigating that treacherous ramp at some military academy graduation. Did he really have a button on his desk to order a Diet Coke? That picture off him, Melania and Barron in the NY apartment. Some person here on the SDMB commented “Everything is covered in gold, even the digger (Melania)” Laughed my ass off. Melania smiling at for him, and looking away with daggers in her eyes. ---

They were for some sports team he was hosting. This has got to be #1, because it was all their fault, all the way along, and every step of it was hilarious. They didn’t realize that shutting down the government non-essential services meant also shutting down the White House non-essential services, like the kitchen staff. They didn’t realize that getting decent outside catering for a large party at the last minute was essentially impossible. Trump really thought that bringing in a table full of McDonald’s was a clever work-around to the problem. And then _that picture of him_, just looking so _proud of himself_, like he’d pulled off the most masterful stroke of genius in history…while being completely oblivious to how cheap and stupid he looked. ---

The asshole fumbling with a Bible for the photo-op like he never held a book before. Duh, which way is up? Which reminds me- the clearing of Lafayette Square was so a violation of the First that it should be prosecuted all by itself, imho. ---

A co-worker of mine that was always spouting that Covid was fake and did not exist. After another co-worker died from Covid, he said he was going to get shots of Lysol to stop Covid, he said the Covid shots inject trackers so the government can follow people. A bit later, he took a swig from a bottle of Mr. Clean disinfectant. Shortly after that he was in the rest room puking his guts out. He soon came out and told our manager he was going home because he was sick. He was told he could go home without pay and get corrective action for what he did or stay at work and suffer the consequences of his stupidity. He went home then ended up in the hospital that night because of chemical poisoning. He missed 4 days of work, all without pay, because of his self inflicted sickness. ---
