It took the White House 22 minutes to figure out how to enable the "listening only" feature on a conference call on Thursday in which senior administration officials announced that President Trump would continue to waive nuclear program-related sanctions, keeping the deal intact.
"This White House can't even run a f*cking conference call," a reporter on an unmuted phone line angrily exclaimed to the entire call. "They don't know how to mute their line."
"It's the illegitimate media that doesn't know how to conduct themselves. They can't mute their f*cking phones," an unidentified official said. "Mute your phones."
Another White House official repeatedly attempted to quiet the noisy line "so the people in charge" could talk.
"I think if everyone had half a brain and common sense and muted their phones, this wouldn't be a problem," she yelled in an apparent fit of frustration.
"Hello? Hello?," one reporter interjected, some 15 minutes after the slated start of the call. "Has the call started?"
"This is Kim Jong Un calling for Donald Trump," another reporter joked as tensions flared.
"All participants are now in listen-only mode," the operator finally announced, much to the relief of everyone on the call. The call began at 1:07 p.m.
A State Department official announced at the end of the call that the technical difficulties prevented the senior administration officials from taking any questions from reporters.
This may seem like a minor thing in the great scheme of things, but in fact it is indicative of the entire Trump White House operation.
You may even remember that in the first months of the Trump presidency they were having meetings in the dark because they could not figure out how to turn the lights on in the White House.
This may be the most incompetent administration in American history.
Once again, thank you deplorables.
While Hawaiians were running to duck and cover, Trump was ON THE GOLF COURSE.
ReplyDeleteNo tweets except his usual attacks and denials.
And an enterprising artist did project “This is a Shithole” on to Trump’s D.C. hotel, along with some poop emojis.
Yep, just another day in the cesspool.
Hillary, Fake News, Michael Wolff.
DeleteLather Rinse Repeat.

Hi$~hotel
Tis is so typical of all higher officials. IN my old company the top level execs were in a conference call and had to call my roommate (their secretary) in order to figure out how to place an outside call... These men, paid 100x more than my roommate, had no idea how to run the very basic of machines in their own company. Morons, the lot of them.
ReplyDeleteI’m reminded for some reason of last summer when Trump was overheard saying the White House was a ‘dump.’ He was on the golf course when he said it.
ReplyDeleteOk this is good, this guy is a jerk. But please remember one thing, just like all immigrants there are Russian immigrants or those of that DNA heritage. Russians fled Russia too. Many fled just like immigrants from other countries. So. there are those that connect for trumpland reasons that need exposure. But, People may be surprised if they did the ancestry dna that they may have a small percentage of Russian there due to relatives generations ago. So handle with respect and class.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I have to say this...
DeleteThere is a huge difference between people coming here from Russia and a politician taking money from organizations or people with ties to Putin. Is that enough or do you need me to polish each grain of sand on the beach for you?
That ashton actor wife? Or maybe she just speaks Russian.
DeleteYou beat me to it, Grey One. I, for one, am not about to sit in a circle holding hands and sing "Kum Ba Yah."
DeleteMila Kunis was born Ukrainian, and came here as a child, you dipshit. She is now an American citizen. Not exactly friends of the Russians since the Russians invaded and stole the Crimea.
DeleteMila is also Jewish and the Russian anti-smeitism is what drove them out.
DeleteDipshit yourself 7:00

ReplyDeleteMost Russian citizens are not the enemy. It is the kremlin, soviet union and russian mob that have attempted this crime against the world.
ReplyDeleteNO we will not sit in circle hoping for decency. NO we will not allow this treason to continue. NO we will not excuse anyone who enabled or aided the enemy. But we will treat all immigrants as human beings that legally obtain USA citizenship and become citizens of the USA. Treason and Espionage is the highest crime against the USA.
Soviet Union? uuuuuh.... What Soviet Union?
DeleteHow about the anchor babies born at trump towers and friends of trump and properties? DEPORT THEM AND STRIP ALL CITIZENSHIP AND BENEFITS. THROW THEIR FAMILIES OUT OF THIS COUNTRY TODAY. THEY CAME HERE ILLEGALLY TO GAIN USA CITIZENSHIP BY GIVING BIRTH AT TRUMP PROPERTIES AND TOWERS. ARREST TRUMP FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
