WTF is that green stuff in orange man's jacket pocket?

[kydo]

I come in to check on the news. Doing some hard-scaping in the yard and orange man is in a world of pooh pooh. So keeping an eye on the news is a good idea. You never know when the idiot is going to start a war or do something stupid.

Anyhow, I come in and there is the orange idiot spewing his orange garbage and there is this green thing in his jacket pocket where like a handkerchief goes. WTF is that green mess? His he trying to hide his salads in his pocket? St. Patrick's Day isn't until Saturday dude.

1. Money?

Stacks of dollar bills?

[pandr32]

26. Shredded ones maybe

[Angry Dragon]

2. He was meeting with the Irish Prime Minister

[kydo]

3. Yeah but why not just have a green handkerchief instead of salad?

He looks so stupid. I don't recall any US President ever doing something that dumb. I wonder who told him it looked good?

[demmiblue]

13. ...

Obama wears it better.... much, much better. It is a to St. Patrick's Day/Ireland.

[kydo]

16. Your right! He does wear it better

Maybe that's why I didn't recall. Obama didn't look stupid. orange man's looked like they just crammed in there. He looked stupid and the shamrocks ended up looking like wilted crushed up lettuce.

4. Gee, I missed it. Is there a picture somewhere?

7. Oh my... Lol! It really does look like salad or such in his pocket. nt

[Control-Z]

21. After seeing pictures of President Obama

up thread I wondered if perhaps we were being petty and dishonest. Nope. He again looks like an idiot with weeds in his pocket. How does he manage to totally and thoroughly fuck up everything he touches?

[pandr32]

27. I agree. It is a custom many of us were unaware of.

But Trump does look "like an idiot"--he always does.

[WePurrsevere]

29. 1/3 Irish & IDK how I missed that one all these years. Trump still looks like a buffoon...

Obama has true class and makes everything look classy. Trump OTOH is true trash and makes everything look like a dumpster overflowed.

[Ohiogal]

24. OMG thanks, that is some weird looking stuff there!

[kydo]

6. Yeah

I'll bet there's jelly beans in there too.

10. Obvious - It's a fairway divot from his most recent round of golf.

He saved it to show off after he lied about a hole in one.

............

[kydo]

17. LOL

[badhair77]

11. The innate slime that is Trump is ooozing out. Yuk.

[janx]

12. I wondered the same thing and then found this:

Why Trump has a bunch of clovers in his pocket today

When Trump greeted Ireland's prime minister outside the West Wing, a bushel of clovers was spilling out of his lapel pocket.

Why? Prime Minister Leo Varadkar will return to the White House later today for the ceremonial Shamrock Bowl Presentation, where Varadkar will present Trump with a crystal bowl full of shamrocks. The tradition — where the current Prime Minister of Ireland presents the sitting President with a bowl full of shamrocks — dates back years.

Leo is wearing them too.

[kydo]

20. Thank you.

Oddly I knew this. Not the details, well remember all the details. I think I was mostly blindsided by how stupid he looked. It just looked so out of place. A poster posted a pic in an earlier reply of Obama wearing the same thing. Only he didn't look stupid.

**sigh** one day this nightmare will be over and we will have a President that is NOT an embarrassment.

[Ohiogal]

25. It can't happen soon enough for me!

[haele]

14. I think it's supposed to be shamrocks?

Not enough "blade" to be turf, but it does sort of look like arugula or watercress from that distance.
But the more burning question is - why is it in his handkerchief/pen protector suit pocket?
As Beau Brummell observes - any posey must be in one's boutonniere, or at the very least wrapped in lace and pinned to the front of the breast pocket if it's to be a tussie or any other perfuming arrangement to keep the air around one pleasant - but it is not to actually be in a pocket - the pocket is where a ploughman's lunch goes.

18. Shamrock's a symbol of Ireland. This photo-op is usually the week of the run up to S. Patrick's Day.

[left-of-center2012]

19. Mold?

23. Cilantro

22. MSNBC said they were shamrocks, very old, wilted and bedraggled, shamrocks.

Trump has no class. Shamrocks are very fragile and begin to fade the moment they are picked, any run of the mill genius would have known they aren't suitable for pocket bouquet.

[kydo]

28. I bet they wilted as soon as the orange man touched them. Poor shamrocks.

He sucks the life essence out of everything, like the Skeksis in the Dark Crystal.
