BREAKING CRITICAL IRAN WAR UPDATE: Trump tells the heroic tale of ordering Sharpies that he didn't want to say "Sharpie"

“So I came here, and they have $1,000 pens. And, you know, you hand pens out, you’re signing, and you hand them out. You’re handing them as all these people. Sometimes you have 30, 40 people, and they are $1,000 a piece,” Trump complained. “Beautiful pen, ballpoint, $1,000. It was gold, silver, gorgeous. But I’m handing out to kids that don’t even know what they are.”

He went on to imitate a child, “‘What is this mommy?’” and vented that the kids don’t know what they are.

The president then declared “I love the government like I love myself economically. I want to save money.”

“So I’m saying this is crazy, and it had another problem: They didn’t write well,” Trump rambled. “So I take it, and I signed, and there’s no ink, and I got all you people looking, and you say, ‘there must be something wrong with Trump.’”

The president claimed that rather than using a $1,000 pen that doesn’t write, he called Sharpie and told the company he wanted pens, but he didn’t want them to say Sharpie as he was signing contracts as president.

“He said, ‘Well, I can make it nicer.’ I said, ‘What can you do?’ He said, ‘I’ll paint it black.’ I said, ‘That’s nice,’” Trump recounted his conversation.

Was he big and burly with tears in his eyes?
The public needs to know.


He’s so pathetic.
