…the best piece of paper ever to be stuck to the shoe of a president. Probably. Video: [Trump boards plane with paper stuck to his shoe - BBC News](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-45758636/trump-boards-plane-with-paper-stuck-to-his-shoe) At time of writing I haven’t seen an explanation as to why this was a most excellent and brilliant thing to do. Yet. Could we provide one? j ---

There are times when a politician finds it is better to misdirect the public’s attention to a trivial embarrassment, than to let them ponder the real story at hand. ---

It’s all fourth dimensional chess. You, with your average sized brain, couldn’t understand the details but this act will directly lead to the complete unilateral disarmament of North Korea. ---

He likes it when people laugh with him. Like during his UN speech. I just like how long it must have been stuck to his shoe if it was toilet paper and no one told him. I don’t think limos have toilets in them. I’m guessing he’s missing having Hope around. It could be a fast food napkin but the McD’s here in Iowa use unbleached ones. We didn’t eat at any when we were in the Twin Cities this summer so I don’t know if they use white or brown there. ---

Obama never had paper stuck to his shoe, but Trump? He not only gets paper stuck to his shoe, but he gets the _best_ paper stuck to his shoe. ---

Trump was TP’ed. That’s about the size of things around here. ---

Yanno, there’s not a single thing I consider even remotely admirable about Trump, but, sheesh, it’s just paper stuck to his shoe. I feel like focus on stuff like this takes away from highlighting the significant ways he’s screwing over the country. It’s like we’ve sunk to his level. ---

It would seem that you haven’t seen the video. It’s a perfect testament to Trump’s world class dignity. The only thing missing is silly music. ---

I think it’s important only as a demonstration of his staff’s disdain for him. I can’t picture the white staff or SS allowing that to happen under any other President. ---

Someone let Trump out of the bathroom stall with TP trailing from his shoe. Just goes to show there are some things Lindsey Graham just won’t do.
