Trump interrupts a Cabinet meeting dealing with the Iran war and rising prices to talk Sharpies

Source: AP News

During a Cabinet meeting Thursday that discussed the war in Iran, record-long security lines at many of the nation’s top airports, rising oil prices and skittish stock markets, the president interjected by holding up a custom-made black and gold Sharpie and offering a long story about how his preferred marker came to be a White House fixture.

“See this pen right here?” Trump said at the start of a roughly five-minute, on-and-off diatribe on the Sharpie. “This pen is an interesting example.”

It was one of several lengthy asides the president made during the meeting that sometimes felt especially jarring given how many more important things his top advisers could have been discussing.

The president offered the winding tale as an example of how his business sense can lead to better, cheaper outcomes in federal spending. He was also seeking to drive home his broader, long-standing criticism that renovations to the Federal Reserve building in Washington are too expensive.

Fast and furious. As our peeps in Congress take to repeatedly referring to him as an idiot (TY Sen. Gallego) and deranged, no one should be letting up on that narrative that reflects a very obvious reality. He needs to be decommissioned.

getting up and staring out the window at the "ballroom" construction and rambling on about it.

When that sort of thing started happening to Raygun during his 2nd term, Nancy kept him tightly controlled and out of the spotlight.

Trump has normalized sexual abuse, rape, pedophilia and perhaps worse.

The Republicans in the U.S. Senate........The Republicans in the U.S. House.....The Republicans on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Without all of them in lockstep since Jan 2016, he wouldn't be wear he, (and the Republican Party) are today.

Those three could take him out in one day, if they weren't all behind what he and the 2025 group are doing and have done.....

Those three entities are sooooo stupid, they don't even realize there is NO Legislative Branch, and NO Judicial Branch of government in a Dictatorship/Tyranny............and they all are just now beginning to realize that THEY created this Frankenstein's Monster and he is out of their control...........
