Trump's small quirks tend to be obscured by the outsized ones, like the way you might overlook the unusually small penis of an overfed slob. Pursuing this analogy, the tiny organ of his press conferences is the penchant for dopey props that are laughably deficient for the purpose of persuading anyone who might need persuading. In his most recent presser, part of the plan was to assure people that the president-elect isn't in it for himself or his own financial gain, and that there will be no conflicts of interest. The approved way of accomplishing this end has been for people in government, including presidents, to sell off their assets and place the proceeds in a blind trust to be managed by some disinterested neutral. Trump's not going to do that. Instead, he had his lawyer explain that they have a plan, a very good one, a terrific plan, and we don't need to know the details because look at all the papers spread out on this table in front here!
In front, there was a long table filled with papers and stuff. It looked like maybe someone had just gotten back from a shopping spree at Office Depot. The lawyer allowed that these were just some of the papers. There were even more where those came from! Trump stood off to the side, gravely contemplating all the paper. An honest man, to be sure. I mean, look at all the paper!
I think it might have been at the last press conference before this one that the front table was filled not with papers but with displays of Trump company products--a Trump slab of beef, a bottle of Trump vodka, I can't remember what else. It looked like the set-up for one of the games on The Price is Right. The concept there was to put to rest the notion that Trump wasn't much of a businessman. Look at that steak!
What a clown.
