a Trump spokesperson said the campaign had no interest in keeping that particular story alive.

The spokesperson continued: “We’d be happy to do the screaming baby again if that works for you?”

“Contacted by the news station about that new information, a Trump spokesperson said the campaign had no interest in keeping that particular story alive.”

“Um,” the spokesperson added. “We’re a little busy dealing with this whole ‘calling for political assassination thing’ at the moment. Can you maybe just bury this one?”

No shit, they couldn’t figure out a way to blame it on the Khan’s.

And you know nobody in Trump’s circle does anything without his permission.

I remember seeing the ‘trumpster idiot fiddling with the bypass key’ as part of stories that or the next day. Not sure this is new info. But by all means, keep the story alive…drip, drip, drip. Even if it peels off one vote.

Obviously this Brett Lacey character is an incompetent boob. Why the hell Trump’s team or the Secret Service bowed down to him is a mystery:

“they (one of them) turned it off between floors and didn’t know how to get it back on… our folks went and fished them out… elevator guys get there and say what the crap? Who turned this off? Turned it back on and voila," he continued.

For a guy who claims to build a lot of high rises, he sure doesn’t know anything about elevators. And considering all that could happen and that he basically lives on high floors, you’d think he’d want to know all about it.

If Trump didn’t have the maturity of a colicky six-month-old with a poopy diaper, he would have profusely thanked the people who got them out of the elevator, and it’s very likely that none of this info would have gotten out. But since he pissed all over them instead over capacity figures that he agreed to in advance, the emergency professionals now have no incentive to not spill the beans all over his stupid ass.

I’m pulling this baby out every time The Creamsicle accuses people of not knowing what they’re doing. This is a lot funnier than the time Drumpf couldn’t find his polling place.

“Well, I DO know how to work an elevator.”

Trump has Howard Hughes level germophobia. He probably has a “button pusher/door opener” that follows him around. Trump may not know how to operate a bottle opener for all we know.

I doubt Trump has picked up a screwdriver or a hammer in years, if ever. If he tried to paint a wall he’d end up with one foot in the bucket, the other in the rolling pan, and paint all over the furniture because he was too fucking lazy to use drop cloths.

He couldn’t use his tiny fingers to pry the doors open?

This story is comforting. I keep worrying that outside of the limelight Trump or the people around him might be revealed as engaging in occasional acts of kindness or generosity. Or at least competence. Then I might feel a little conflicted in my feelings about him. But this story confirms that, happily, such worries are unfounded.
