I mean, that plate was probably government property, right? And the person who cleaned up the mess was probably on the government payroll.
What, he just throws a plate and somebody else has to clean up after him? Somebody else has to pay for the damage and clean up his tantrum poo?
And it sounds like he may have done it more than once.

(13,186 posts)Pretty much everyone can relate to detesting the kind of surly numbskull who throws a plate of food and then walks away to let someone else clean up his mess.
And this particular broken plate carries an important information payload. Trump threw the plate, because he was pissed that Attorney General Barr dismissed election fraud claims. This particular plate should be made an issue, both as an a-holish thing to do and as a way to show Trump's true colors when it comes to his lies about election fraud.
Yes, it bums me out that so much taxpayer money ended up in the pockets of Trump, his family, and his associates.

(13,186 posts)I'm kidding in exactly the way I hope it appears I am. The idea of someone stooping to clean up after that squat little toad bugs me. I think it should bug anyone. "Not so fast, spray tan, who's gonna pay for that plate?"
