Remember the toilet paper march up the steps into Air Force One?

What it shows me is that none of the people who deal with him on a day to day basis have any respect for him whatsoever.

Could be that he's the type to shoot the messenger, and nobody wanted to be told "You're fired" for letting him know he's got tp on his feetsies.

Sort of makes you wonder what the staff has been putting in his food over the years.

I wonder if he’s tried to go out pantsless yet?

the people who deal with him on a day to day basis have any respect for him whatsoever.

I find that even more chilling. The number of people that know him and despise him, but are willing to toe the line and throw everything away just for a shot at more money.

There will never be anything funnier than Four Seasons Total Landscaping. If I was a comedy TV writer, I would have quit that day because there'd never be a way I could top the hilarious absurdity of that press conference.

I dunno, changing the path of a hurricane with a sharpie is pretty fucking funny, too.

"It happens to the best of us," they wrote.

They should have said the worst.

Oh there was ketchup on the walls that day, I'm sure.

No respect, definitely contempt, and probably fear.

He’s like the cartoon evil bad guy boss. His minions suck up to him, keep him in power and praise him in public, but behind his back they hate him, mock him, take joy in his failings, and want him to fail. But they’re always worried that they’ll fall on his disfavor and get booted.
