“Trump interrupts a Cabinet meeting dealing with the Iran war and rising prices to talk Sharpies”
By 
More presidon’ting from the worst thing to hit the White House since the British dropped by in 1814.
The Sharpie monologue came after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, envoy Steve Witkoff, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered sobering comments about missile strikes, Tehran’s uranium enrichment efforts and the U.S. troops that remain in harm’s way.

“We’ve gotta get our priorities straight,” Trump said.
And he thinks everyone’s priorities are listening to him lie.
“The head of Sharpie gets a call. I don’t even know who the hell he is. He said, ‘Is this really the president?’” Trump said.
It was the most attention the marker has gotten at the White House since the “ Sharpiegate ” scandal involving Hurricane Dorian during Trump’s first term. Still, Sharpie’s manufacturer, Atlanta-based Newell Brands, said in a statement that it didn’t have any information about the conversation Trump described
I doubt the public will ever get the exact diagnosis or diagnoses for what the actual fuck is wrong with this man. Some of it, like being thicker than a whale sandwich is a personality trait, not a condition. However, articles like this, which tell the reader what happened without any attempts to paraphrase or translate his bizarreitudes into English
“I love the government like I love myself, economically,” Trump said. “I want to save money.”
make it clear that for whatever reason, no matter how dire the situation, he is only performing the ceremonial functions associated with being famous, like self-promoting and autographing, and reflex DJT functions like embodying the seven deadly sins and creating clusterfucks.
Maybe he can’t do anything else because substance abuse (he is fond of Sharpie markers) has teamed up with age-related cognitive decline. Maybe he won’t do anything else because he has decided he isn’t going to pretend to give a shit about anything except getting that cheese and sticking goldish gewgaws to the walls. Probably Column A and Column B and the immortal quote about his intelligence. Plus he’s lazy as a corpse, and as a previous pampered Republican failson discovered, being president is hard work.
But this is it. For every serious discussion, he’ll babble about his ballroom. For every crisis, he’ll tell long-winded lies about economical self-love. I assume that he is significantly worse in private, but he’s surrounded by people who are just fine with an executive who lacks executive function. He doesn’t interfere with their schemes, doesn’t require any work beyond kissing his ass, and he’s setting a comfortably low bar for the next Republican presidon’t.
Please stay on topic in the comments.
