Trump tells Hurricane Laura emergency responders to sell his autograph on eBay for $10k

[Initech]

President Donald Trump travelled to Lake Charles, Louisiana, on Saturday to inspect damage from Hurricane Laura and attend a briefing on the impact of the disaster and the federal response.

After taking questions from reporters, the president began signing autographs for some of those in attendance, quipping that they could sell them on eBay that night for $10,000.

After being asked to sign one autograph, Mr Trump sits down and calls over to a group of people near by, saying: "Come here fellas, get over here. I want a little power."

Handing an autographed piece of paper to one local official he says: "Sell this on eBay tonight, you'll get $10,000." He tells another recipient that he is deliberately not putting his name on as it will be worth more without it.

The visit came on the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and there was an unexpected parallel to the calamitous response of the George W Bush administration to that catastrophe.

2. Since he didn't hand out paper towels this time,

the autographed papers could be used to mop up the mud. Better yet, for use in the bathroom.

3. The Onion had a very similar story a couple of months ago.

You cannot make fun of Donald Trump. He’s simply too big a joke.

4. This reads like Borowitz.

Life imitating Art.

7. Would be a good way to make a bit of cash actually

If you're good at faking signatures, there's no real way to verify if it's legit or not. His autographs sell for at least $50

9. Just like the inflated values he submits to lenders

per Michael Cohen for Trump properties, none of the items I looked at on eBay had bids over $1,000. and most of them were a few hundred or less or even zero.

What a blowhard. What an a$$hole.
