BREAKING: PAM BONDI launches IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION into "loud snapping binder clip" that startled Trump

When the president removed a binder clip from the stack of paper, the loud snapping noise apparently took him off guard, and he drew laughs by marveling at the potentially serious injury he had escaped. After the danger had passed, he tossed the paper aside with a loud thud and continued his remarks:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: It’s a terrible thing. Here’s the book on accomplishments. And this is something. Oh, I’m glad my finger wasn’t in that sucker!

That could have done some damage! But you know what? I wouldn’t have shown the pain. I would have gone back.

Boy, did you hear that? That was nasty!

But I would not have shown that pain. I would’ve acted like nothing happened as my finger fell off.

(LAUGHTER).

That was a nasty. I think somebody did that. I think it was him. It was my man. How are you? You didn’t do it. I know you didn’t. I know, you didn’t.

But here is the uh– Here’s the book. These are all things we have–. I’m going to read a few of the samples.

But look at this. Each line is something that we did. Nobody did that before! And it’s big stuff, too. Look, we have the hottest country in the world.

(THROWS ON FLOOR WITH LOUD THUD)

just watched that clip -and I had such flashback to my dad when taking care of him... that's the type of behavior that he would exhibit.... trump is a very sick man and should, under no circumstances, be considered our President

And no, I'm not a doctor, but I think many of us have been witness to alarming changes in medical and physical health, and while this has largely been abandoned in the age of Trump, the President of the United States needs to be whip-smart and ever-vigilant.

I don't even want to SPECULATE what would happen if the 2019 / 2020 pandemic happened TODAY.

We lost 400,000 on his watch, in his first term. He's nowhere near "prepared" for ANY ripples in the pond this time around.

Egads!

At some point, bird flu will make the zoonotic jump into human-to-human transmissibility. It's only a question of when. You best pray that this admin is no longer in control when that occurs.
