If you remove all context, and what his response to that approach was, sure.

It didn’t make sense... the White House kitchen wasn’t furloughed. They were there, and Trump told them ‘Nah, we don’t need you, I already ordered McDonald’s from Grubhub’.

All these images of Trump waddling around the White House, hosting these weird old man burger parties and whatnot feel very Lynchian. Like, not quite something out of a nightmare, but a dream that’s surreal enough to make you feel uneasy when you wake up.

...it kind of made sense, and was even something approaching a smart political move.

The Venn diagram of those days is a circle.

Hmm, visit the White House in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity or stay at Baylor and get raped by the football team. Decisions, decisions.

On his best days he is an oafish clown, on his worst days he is the President of the United States

The worst-case scenario that I can imagine is that the players are booted from the team and the coach is fired.

There is a lot of shit he’s Constitutionally incapable of doing, but he’ll keep doing it anyway, as long as the GOP controls the Senate.

Trump’s campaign plane is powered by cognitive dissonance

Ah, but he left himself a loophole: flatly deny ever having done the first thing. Even when someone plays you a video of yourself doing Thing A, claim that you never did Thing A, because Thing Negative A is clearly the correct answer and you would never have done anything else.

“I would assume a huge supporter of women’s athletics and against the typical smug level of sexism and stupidity that someone like Trump represents.”

I am proud that the UVA basketball team declined the invitation to visit the WH, especially given POTUS’ ridiculous comments about Charlottesville during the white supremacist rally and ensuing violence and literal murder.  What an absolute chud.

There are very fine sandwiches on both sides

I wonder how nervous he was that Omarosa would just show up and record a bunch of conversations but he wouldn’t be able to pick her out of the crowd. 

It’s Baylor, so probably the school’s shitty administration. 

That oval office picture provides many quality reaction memes. And also this

Do you really think a women’s college sports team has any sort of leverage here?

Kim Mulkey’s grimace at the sight of a fast food spread for the Baylor Women’s Basketball team’s visit to the White House is worth a thousand words.

Of fucking course they had to have Chik Fil A. Of course. God all these people are fucking assholes.
