'Off The Rails': Trump's Ramble In The Middle Of Cabinet Meeting Is 24-Karat Nonsense [View all]

President Donald Trump delivered a wild and rambling performance at a Cabinet meeting that ran for more than 90 minutes, ending with a long aside about interior decorating.

Trump said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ― who is Jewish ― has “abandoned the Jews” and “become a Palestinian,” then compared Schumer to Jon Lovitz’s lying “Saturday Night Live” character Tommy Flanagan, complete with an impression.

He described the B-2 bombers that flew to Iran for last month’s attack, saying they “went skedaddle” and then tried to define the word “skedaddle.”
“Do you know the word skedaddle?” he asked. “It means skedaddle.”


He spoke of flags, clocks, lamps, medallions, and more.

Then the conversation took a golden turn as Trump spoke at length about the room’s mouldings and whether they would look better with gold leaf or gold-coloured paint.

“If you paint it, it won’t look good because they’ve never found a paint that looks like gold,” he said. “You see that in the Oval Office. They’ve tried for years and years. Somebody could become very wealthy, but they’ve never found a paint that looks like gold. So painting it is easy, but it won’t look right. And the question is whether or not we should gold leaf it.”

He asked some of his Cabinet secretaries for their opinions on gold paint versus gold leaf.


FUCKING NUTS. Where is the media????????????????????
