“Trump interrupts a Cabinet meeting dealing with the Iran war and rising prices to talk Sharpies”
“During a Cabinet meeting Thursday that discussed the war in Iran, record-long security lines at many of the nation’s top airports, rising oil prices and skittish stock markets, the president interjected by holding up a custom-made black and gold Sharpie and offering a long story about how his preferred marker came to be a White House fixture.”“See this pen right here?” Trump said at the start of a roughly five-minute, on-and-off diatribe on the Sharpie. “This pen is an interesting example.”
“It was one of several lengthy asides the president made during the meeting that sometimes felt especially jarring given how many more important things his top advisers could have been discussing.”
“The Sharpie monologue came after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, envoy Steve Witkoff, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered sobering comments about missile strikes, Tehran’s uranium enrichment efforts and the U.S. troops that remain in harm’s way.”
“After concluding his Sharpie recollections, Trump took a moment to revel in his own storytelling ability before offering the floor to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.”
“It was the most attention the marker has gotten at the White House since the “ Sharpiegate ” scandal involving Hurricane Dorian during Trump’s first term.”

Irony is that the President of the company that makes the pen when asked commented that past Presidents and other officials have always used the pens
The sad part is that probably all those lackeys sitting around the table were thinking what the fuck is he talking about but not one had the balls to say anything
And the clown car keeps chugging along
