During a Friday meeting at the White House with executives from the oil and gas industry, Donald Trump proved once again that he has the attention span of a gnat, is little more than an overgrown infant, and is the dumbest human being to ever serve as head of state.
Whining about the small size of White House meeting rooms, the Bumbler-in-Chief said there would be room for “over 1,000 people” if the meeting had been held in the ballroom he’s building where the East Wing used to be.
“Come to think of it ― wow. I gotta look at this myself,” Trump said as he turned and looked out the window behind him.
“Wow, what a view. This is the door to the ballroom,” he added.
After he returned to his seat, Trump rattled on about the ballroom.
“You see a very big foundation that’s moving. We’re ahead of schedule in the ballroom and under budget.”
Seconds later, the “president” was still focused on the ballroom.
“I don’t think there’ll be anything like it in the world, actually,” Trump gushed.
“The ballroom will seat many,” he continued, “and it’ll also take care of the inauguration, with bulletproof glass, drone-proof ceilings and everything else, unfortunately, that today you need.”

In his delusional mind, he actually thought all the oil(y) executives were going to jump up an press their brown noses against the window, in awe of the great Gall Room.

The U.S. nuclear arsenal is under this fool’s control. What could possibly go wrong?
