'Sloppy Steve': Trump Uses Infrastructure Mtg To Come Up With New Bannon Insults Back to article

So now Trump is plagiarizing from Bruce Springsteen…

Can’t argue with the characterization, though.

So he’s an ill-natured, easily bored dunce who can’t be bothered to do his job? Huh.

Well…priorities.

But he’s just comforting the peoples economic anxiety!

Gotta be honest, I can’t really disagree with the dotard on this one.

Donald’s never been able to pay attention for any length of time to anything, especially a government meeting.

I know this is beside the point of the article, but:

paying apt attention

C’mon now. “Apt”–not only in this context but especially when Trump is part of that context–is not the word you want here. “Rapt,” though, is . . . though, again, with the qualification that it’s being used to describe Trump in a meeting that’s not about him.

Considering what passes for Infrastructure Week in this administration, this is fine.

pshah · April 4, 2019, 1:59pm

If this is what he’s doing when he’s ostensibly working, just what the hell is he doing during “Executive time”?

The office of President of the United States has lost its majesty under this idiot and is a forum for mockery.

clauscph · April 4, 2019, 2:16pm

This is very old news reported in a book.

Shouldn’t ‘uses’ in the headline (suggesting a current event) not be ‘used’ (suggesting a historical event)

I think I remember the meeting, with Scalise on crutches, has Trump been at Camp David more than one time ?

This level of Stable Genius cannot be understood my mortal minds.

steviedee111 · April 4, 2019, 2:24pm

We’re all playing checkers, while he’s playing chest.

haddockbranzini · April 4, 2019, 2:25pm

Ahem…

Trump was focused on coming up with a litany of new insults for “Sloppy Steve,” which was scrawled across the top of Trump’s index card, followed by thoughts on “how he wanted to trash Steve Bannon the next time someone asked him about it.”

Mitch McConnell is going to the hell in which I don’t believe for the way he has enabled this senile vengeful old inadequacy.

docd · April 4, 2019, 2:51pm

He has a system for developing insults? And “Sloppy Steve” is the best he could do?

benthere · April 4, 2019, 2:56pm

Point taken, but Trump has taken it to a whole new and grotesque level.

Somebody’s a little worried what somebody may say to the Committee …
