RFK JR: One time, Trump grabbed a placemat, turned it over, took a Sharpie, and drew a perfect map of the Middle East. Then he marked the troop strength of every country along each border on that map. It challenged a lot of the assumptions I had been told about him.

1. This report from a guy who snorts coke off a toilet seat, swims in raw sewage,

eats road kill, and collects dead bears, whale heads and raccoon penises? Righty-O.

[Tbear]

3. Side note: raccoon wieners actually have a bone in them

[Ocelot II]

5. Yes, it's called a baculum. All mammals except humans have them.

15. Most placental mammals, but humans are not the only exception

Which I learned from the Wiki page you sent me to

Also learned there:

In a 2001 letter to the editor of the American Journal of Medical Genetics, biologist Scott F. Gilbert and biblical scholar Ziony Zevit argued that the "rib" (Hebrew צֵלׇע ṣēlāʿ, also translated "flank" or "side" ) in the story of Adam and Eve is actually a mistranslation of a Biblical Hebrew euphemism for baculum, and that its removal from Adam in the Book of Genesis is a creation story to explain this absence (as well as the presence of the perineal raphe – as a resultant "scar" ) in humans

[Ocelot II]

16. Do you suppose Trump has one?

Or would you rather not think about it?

[Tbear]

2. Confirming my assumption of gross incompetence

Why are you discussing military strategy with Health and Human Services?

[Alice B.]

4. Here to add "says the Kid Rock sauna video guy."

[Solly Mack]

6. Yeah, that happened. Sure.

[Goonch]

7. ;-{).....

[taxi]

8. And he did it while waiting for the Wired-A-Lago omelet bar.

A military assessment map is only a security breach when drawn on the top of a place mat, not when hidden on the bottom where no one can see it. It's not like he is a total idiot...

[Seinan Sensei]

9. Must've been a big damn placemat

In order to “mark the troop strength … along each border”
Especially the borders of little Kuwait and Qatar

Also, when’s the last time *Rump ate from a paper placemat?

[displacedvermoter]

10. Trump can't figure out how to sign a document

or exit a room without assistance more times than not. I don't believe this story is true, especially cause young Robert is as crazy as Trump. And as big a liar...

[usedtobedemgurl]

17. It is definitely true,

But Kennedy was so high, he did not realize it was from a classified document holder and was already filled out.

[Lifeafter70]

11. In his own words

"Art may not be my stong point"

12. Trump knows geography better than anyone.

Don Lemon and Rick Wilson talking about big Brain Trump's knowledge of the world.

[tanyev]

13. One time at McDonald's, Donny flipped over the placemat and drew the Hamburglar's treasure map.

Perfectly. Without even looking.


🤨

[Miles Archer]

14. He also drew a 100% anatomically correct nude female torso on Epstein's birthday card

I'll bet if you put Trump on his back on a scaffold, handed him a paintbrush, and raised him to the ceiling, he could give that punk Michelangelo a run for his money.

18. MaddowBlog-Trump shares a conversation with Sharpie maker that apparently never occurred

As a rule, when the president talks about imaginary conversations, his descriptions are vague. Occasionally, he slips up.

Look, I realize this framing is trite, but for all of the obsessive focus on Biden’s age and mental acuity, he never went around sharing the details of imaginary conversations that he claimed to be having in the here and now.

Trump, meanwhile, does it all the time.

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-shares-a-conversation-with-sharpie-maker-that-apparently-never-occurred

Partway through the meeting, the Republican took several minutes to talk about his appreciation for, of all things, Sharpie pens. The Associated Press reported:

During a Cabinet meeting Thursday that discussed the war in Iran, record-long security lines at many of the nation’s top airports, rising oil prices and skittish stock markets, the president interjected by holding up a custom-made black and gold Sharpie and offering a long story about how his preferred marker came to be a White House fixture.

‘See this pen right here?’ Trump said at the start of a roughly five-minute, on-and-off diatribe on the Sharpie. ‘This pen is an interesting example.’

What followed was a lengthy and detailed description of a conversation the president claimed to have had with the company that makes the pens.

Trump: "See, this pen right here. This pen is an interesting example. It's the same thing. So this pen is very inexpensive. But it writes well. I like it. But I can't have the pen the way it was. You know what it is. I don't want to give too much publicity but they do treat me well. Sharpie."

.....The day after the Cabinet meeting, The Washington Post reported, “The company that makes the permanent markers said the exchange never happened. … Presented with a transcript of Trump’s account, a spokesperson for Sharpie maker Newell Brands said it did not occur.” When the Post asked the White House to clarify who the president had spoken to and when, it received no response.

Trump already had a “Sharpiegate” mess in his first term, and the sequel is about as absurd.

But what troubles me about this is the familiarity of the circumstances. As a rule, when the president talks about imaginary conversations, he sticks to vague descriptions that make fact-checking difficult.....

I realize this framing is trite, but for all of the obsessive focus on Joe Biden’s age and mental acuity during his term, the Democratic president never went around sharing the details of fictional conversations that he said he was having in the here and now. Trump, meanwhile, does it all the time.
