This is true. This is a fact. I'm not making this up. He, the President of the United States, is spending time super gluing gold medallions to the mantle in the Oval Office. I am not making this up. He is literally doing arts and crafts while we are fighting a war and trying to deal with out -of -control prices. Now, now, now, look, I heard, I heard the President was not happy when I joked over the weekend that he's got the White House working like Saddam Hussein open the cheesecake factory.
