    Beyond the corruption and the rank incompetence, I thought maybe we could have a thread about just how embarrassing that man is. To wit:

    Trump is going to be wined and dined by the richest, most slavishly self-obsessed oligarchs on the planet, which means the food is going to be incredible. I've eaten the local fare in Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq, and I'm going to guess that Saudi cuisine is going to similar, which is to say fabulous. And yet Donny is going to be eating McDonald's:

    Tactical McDonalds. That's what Trump is good for.

    Another thread about Trump? There has to be a name for this condition.

    Just imagine a life in which you can have Michelin-level food any time you want and opt for a Big Mac and Chicken McNuggets.

    I'd expect a five year old to want the McNuggets. After all, there's a reason why a children's menu exists. For. Children.(*)

    A 78-year-old billionaire eating McDonald's? :ROFLMAO: He's opting for a college student at an entry-level job over Joe Bastianich, Julia Child or Gordon Ramsay, although being POTUS, I wouldn't expect him to eat Ramsay food unless he was visiting the UK.

    (*)Then again, when you throw ketchup on the wall, maybe you've never matured.

    When he does eventually die, it'll just be "It's XXXXX in a body suit" and there'll be a new conspiracy every week.

    Well, at the time I created this thread, the top 10 threads on this page had all been created by ASF. But mostly to separate the evil and maliciousness of the Trump administration from the more garish, lampoonish elements of the man. If nobody thinks this thread has merit, it'll die soon enough.

    I have never…for even a nano second…thought Donald Trump couldn’t be more embarrassing. His ability to find new ways to be more embarrassing knows no bounds.

    In that case, may I suggest a thread title change to reflect your intent. Something like, ridiculous aspects of Trump

    Since the McDonald's was presented by the Saudis to impress Trump, maybe the thread should focus on things people/countries do to debase themselves to flatter/bribe Trump.

    Well, between the guy who wanted to make "TDS" a mental health disorder getting arrested for child sex charged and Gym Jordan both being Republicans... "They're not bringing their best. Some, I assume, are good people."

    Surprised that no one mentioned his latest grift. Selling official "Trump" watches for $800 (when they are probably cheap, Chinese-made Timexes). Some guy in Rhode Island was complaining that his wife "cried" when he bought her one, because there was a typo and it just said "RUMP."

    Really, you can't make this up.

    And the other thing you can't make up was the guy was quoted saying something like "you'd expect someone to be looking after the details--how could they let this ship without making sure it was right?"

    I think we all know the answer to that.

    There are stainless steel dial labeling kits you can buy for a DIY dial that cost around $40-50 when you're done specifying what you want the lettering to say. Then you align it on your dial and press-stick. Sometimes a shock impact can dislodge one or more of the letters. Or aybe the machine used to do the work left letters off, I don't know.

    Watch QC is what you pay for, like most things. A microbrand or mainstream watch that retails for $800 (that would be considered quite affordable in the watch world) normally would have more than enough QC that this wouldn't happen much, if at all. That's because a respectable starting watchmaker doesn't want that shit blowing up in his face. He's having that watch built for $400 and charging twice that just to make ends meet. Trump's people probably opted for the $100 watch build and then did an 8x markup.

    It's far more important for a Trump-obsessed predator to care more that his watch features Trump's mug than knowing what time it is. If you buy a watch for fashion instead of telling the time, you're getting what you deserve anyhow. My phone stays in my pocket where it belongs.

    Well it's a limited edition watch and since it's missing the T that probably makes it more valuable. Much like a penny that's double stamped.
