"Am I wrong or did the president of the United States sit behind a truck just like a big boy and make honk honk sounds? Was that a real one or did I just ... OK he did? He did. Good. OK."
Now listen am I off here or did Trump make the joint chiefs pose for a fake situation room photo after all the shit was unplugged and make them pretend he was part of the successful op against Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi while they all looked like they'd swallowed a live cat—he did! OK.
I know I dreamed the one where he stood framed dead center of a Kubrick-meets-John-Watters kitsch nightmare of fast food hillocks wearing a face that screamed "I'm a used car salesman who just murdered my wife and I'm about to shit my pants," that one didn't happen—what, really?
Now I *know* I'm making up the time he went to El Paso after a horrific gun massacre, turning a national tragedy into a gross photo op, capped by giving a shit eating grin thumbs up while posed with an infant orphaned by a gun policy he himself—WHAT?
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
