Maybe instead of renovating the East Wing, the verbally unhousebroken Commander-in-Chief should think about building a Presidential Doghouse. Lord knows, he’s in that thing often enough to justify it.

ChatGPT for the win!

His latest mark-your-territory-moment happened last week on Air Force One. In the middle of one of his casual mid-flight press conferences, POTUS barked a sharp little “Quiet, piggy” at a reporter who interrupted someone else’s question. It was, for the most part, one of those micro-moments that flickers across political Twitter, gets two headlines, and then evaporates into the humid fog of “whatever he said today.”

And then Jimmy Kimmel got ahold of it.

I WANT IN!
