Thin Skinned Trump Gave a Video Intro Despite Being Right There

Donald Trump’s ego bruises more easily than a banana in heat. Which is why at Thursday’s White House press briefing, instead of appearing in person to give a statement, he prerecorded one that was shown to the crowd despite being 50 yards away.

Trump wasn’t even in the room and Sarah Huckabee Sanders still said “Thank you, Mr. President” like the good robot she is.

Where was Trump? Hiding in the Oval Office like a kid who did something wrong.

Trump appears on the video in the press briefing room, which is maybe 50 yards from the Oval Office.

Jesus. I bet he was weeping softly into his tiny little hands.
