a meme?! It's too weird.

I speculated it was his idea to look bigger & more rough tough imposing. ''

If not his.. whose idea was it to put him at a little person's desk?! Rofl

always wants to project power, so I can't get over the fact that he did this.

His heroes--Bolsonaro, Duterte, Erdogan and Putin--wouldn't be caught dead in a photo op like that. It's inconceivable. They would probably execute any underling who suggested such a thing.

How are you doing? Are you still in NC? I remember that you were looking at moving, maybe to TN.

I hope that you are safe and well!

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! 🍁🦃🍽🌞

The carpet also looks scruffy and weird, at least for a place like the White House.

Also, his infusion stand right next to him and the overall bizarrely looking setting will make this a pic for eternity. He might be enraged now about certain Twitter trends but this humiliation should be part of his legacy.

It was a historic moment.

I am so grateful, because I get health insurance through the federal insurance exchange.

tRump now only in charge of fireplace decor and forced to sign a Christmas card to each family affected by COVID-19.
