I know there have been many other historic moments at the Resolute Desk, but somehow JFK always comes to mind.

Get that IMPOSTER out of the Oval Office!

LBJ sent it out of the White House for a traveling exhibition of JFK memorabilia, after which it was installed in the Smithsonian, until Jimmy Carter brought the desk back to the Oval Office in 1977. Since then, Reagan, Clinton, George W. Bush Barack Obama, and (gag) Donald Trump have all used it. (Poppy” Bush used a different desk, but kept the Resolute Desk in the White House.

He is a freakin’ moron if he thinks no one would notice that the page is blank. We never, ever take at face value what he shows. Kinda like that huge pile of folders he showed off prior to the election, I believe, when he was “turning over his business to his kids to run.” They were reams of blank paper stuck in folders.

He can’t resist showing off his signature ... when the page isn’t blank.

Using a sharpie and hiding the lack of text on a new (likely blank) legal pad.

He's got a special "I'm working" face.

Trump is just another Dr. EVIL.
Where is Austin Powers to pop in and fight the Russians when we need him?
Perhaps he is stuck in Great Britain re-reading the dossier and gathering more secret naughty dealings Dr. EVIL has committed.

Who is Me-Me in the horrible time we live in?

Is it perhaps Trump just view himself in the mirror and repeat himself, no one is above me! I am above everyone. The mirror Breaks!

This SCROOGE will go down as worst in history, even Hoover would be higher in standing that Scrooge Trump!

It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call ... The Twilight Zone.
