9. Li'l Donnie "Short Eyes" and his stage prop

Someone in his administration cooked up those numbers, printed them out and then handed them to the orange vulgarian with the instructions to use them in front of the cameras to try and humiliate Powell. You could tell the way Trump immediately reached for them that he was just waiting for the cue.

Then he repeated "Just came out" in that silly little voice as if he was confident it was going to knock down Powell a peg or so. Trump had no response for Powell when he quickly pointed out the error on the printed page because he knows nothing about the matter at hand. He is ad libbing to get out the talking points he favors.
