"The best part is when he puts the box in the CAB of the truck bc he's never done a day of real work

in his life."


That's a tweet from Mikel Jollett, with video clip of Trump's truck-loading fail yesterday:






And Jollett added:




He literally doesn't understand how trucks work.

but then I realized that everyone else around him were wearing very light shirts or tops because of the heat and he never unzipped his jacket at all. I think he's hiding his hideous belly and the fact that he wears depends which shows much more under casual pants than suits.

The weather was humid, hot and clothes tend to get wet and stick to your flesh. We would have seen much more of him than we would ever want to.

Who would use that phrase for something like that which took all of one minute?

You just know that his internal voice was saying, after that member of the unwashed masses told him (ordered him!) one more and passed him another box....."Look you loser, you don't tell the POTUS "one more" after I've already done enough for the photo op...Oh well, I'll bite my tongue this time and use this overworking to make a point about how I'm keeping fit and not afraid of a little exercise"

Sun Sep 3, 2017, 05:40 PM

most of the homes I've worked on have an opening near ground level that allows the water to go out on its' own. It's called a "door".

But, what do I know? I'm just a carpenter.

Not looking to argue with anyone, but a squeegee works alot better on ground level than a bucket.

Really smart, Donald, a good way to obstruct the driver's view and cause an accident.
If he considers placing some empty boxes in a truck "really good exercise", that explains his extra 80 pounds.

of shape yet pretends that he's he-man. He gave a package TO THE DRIVER. Then he put the boxes in a totally uneven way in the truck bed, instead of stacking them and laying them flat as any NORMAL human being would do. Then putting that one package of water in and you could see how he was struggling mightily with ONE PACKAGE OF WATER. The volunteers have been lifting packages of water all day for days. He couldn't handle one. And then that fucking absurd smacking of the truck...That was seriously embarrassing.

It's so fake for a President to do manual labor for a photo-op. It's so obvious. And it's not like he's being helpful. Cringe worthy.

See how he hands the first one to the guy in the cab? HAHAHA. And another one in he puts in the back is sticking up on its side all crooked.
