President Donald Trump shared a video clip he seems to think shows that “tough guys” support him.

Just one problem: The footage of a biker reacting to a “Make America Great Again” cap was from an episode of Larry David’s HBO show “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” And the episode not only mocked the caps but called them “a great people repellent.”

On Monday, Trump tweeted the clip, which contained at least eight profanities:

In the episode, the notoriously prickly David discovers that people want nothing to do with him when he wears the MAGA cap so he dons it as a “people repellent.” The cap gets him out of a lunch meeting he had been trying to avoid, and helps him keep the seat next to him at a sushi bar empty.

1. yup and his deplorables will honor him for it.

They won't get Larry David's humor.

2. One of my favorite neologisms is...

...sarchasm - the gap between biting wit and those stupid to get it.

The perfect word!

5. "Tough guy" in America these days usually means.....

a butthole or those among us with mostly scar tissue for brains. Post-Great Depression and WW2, the phrase had meaning.

Being determined, focused, intelligent, resilient and stoic but open-minded and compassionate is my kind of tough....

6. I once knew a huge right winger who loved Stephen Colbert

10. I understand there were quite a few

until the penny dropped.

And the drop occurred at the correspondent’s dinner when he roasted Dubya.

13. That reminds me of a phone conversation I had with my late mother years ago.

She had "The Daily Show" on in the background, and started complaining about one of the cast members. At the time, they had this newish "correspondent." "This guy is an asshole. Why do they have him on here? I can't stand him." I asked her if the guy had dark hair and glasses. "Yes. His name is Cole-bert. He's an asshole." I had to explain to her that it was all a character act, and that he was really the opposite of that. Mom was a really smart lady, but Stephen is so good, he even fooled her. I'm sure she would have figured it out on her own that it was satire, her initial reaction to him was priceless. If she was still here, she'd be a regular viewer of The Late Show these days.

7. Perception, like most things, ain't in his skill set.

Generalissimo Corpulente's talent lies more in the realm of cosmetology. (You know, applying makeup.)

11. Trump just doesn't get it.

He's the most unfunny idiot in America.

[11 Bravo]

15. Sadly, neither do his sycophants.

12. So besides the fact that tRump totally just doesn't get it...

He was proud enough of this to post it to the world. He openly supported and encouraged the behavior that biker was showing.

He is fucking garbage. There are never the right words to satiate my hate for him.

14. Trump thought this was a clip of Bernie Sanders deciding to support Trump.
