Dunce Cap Award: Kayleigh McEnany

On Friday, President Trump announced, via press shill Kayleigh McEnany, that he was donating a quarterly pay check in the amount of $100,000 to the Department of Health & Human Services.

That, for Trump, is the good news.

The bad news?

McEnany fumbled, flashing not only the check, but a pay stub containing the President's personal banking information, which means it was exposed to the whole world.

What she should've done was have one of those gimmicked oversized checks, like they use when public donations are made to charities, in hand, with a rep from the DHHS present. How simple is that?

And now you know why she's a press shill for Trump. Fallible, malleable, ready and willing to perpetuate the misinformation issuing from her boss.

I was going to quote a line from Don Henley's 1983 hit, "Dirty Laundry" (you know the one), but that would be piling on. All Kayleigh gets instead is a Dunce Cap. Like, even Trump would ream her out for her mistake. Right?

I've put this up in other places, but I don't want it to go to waste.

All public statements by the Trump Administration should carry this label:

CONTENTS MEASURED BY VOLUME RATHER THAN SUBSTANCE.



*Or is that too clever?*
