Donald Trump held a Cabinet meeting yesterday, even though the Trump Shutdown is still happening. It’s felt really low-key hasn’t it? I remember the government shutdowns in the ‘90s, and they felt like much bigger deals. But the Trump Shutdown came in the middle of the holiday season, and I truly believe that many people gave themselves the Christmas gift of Not Paying Attention To Trump For A Solid Week. Thus, it doesn’t seem like people were too worked up about the shutdown. But now that we’re in January and the new Congress is in town, people are like “wait, the Trump shutdown is still happening?” Yes. It is. And the orange madman isn’t doing anything about it but demanding billions of dollars for a wall – the same wall he claimed Mexico would pay for.
Anyway, this Cabinet meeting was apparently ridiculous for a million different reasons. I didn’t watch it, but I saw the headlines and tweets. Trump was ignorant of history and unhinged in about ten different ways. But the dumbest thing might have been this: the stupid fake-meme poster that Trump had made, which was laid out on the Cabinet table for some reason.

If you’d like a better look, Trump tweeted the image back in November:

And it didn’t really take back then either. HBO was pissy about it too:
How do you say trademark misuse in Dothraki?

So, was this the craziest thing that happened in Trumpworld yesterday? Probably not. But it’s just a reminder of our shifting standards for CRAY in Trump’s America. Donald Trump literally tried to make a stupid meme happen, and even when it didn’t take, he still had the posters made and then he PUT THE POSTER ON THE TABLE for his unhinged Cabinet meeting. And all of it was probably supposed to district from the government shutdown. ¯_(?)_/¯
