Burgum: "The things that Trump touches he makes better." Unless you're talking about the Epstein Files.

Burgum: "His rapport and understanding of how construction works on complex projects, restorations, new construction, is unmatched in the presidency. Let's turn him loose. The things that he touches he makes better."

1. Like how the Oval Office now looks like it was redecorated by Saddam Hussein's pimp?

2. Nothing they say is the truth, let's start there.

3. Wow - Burgum gets today's place at the cherished #1 spot in the kneepad brigade.

Maybe the love of his life will pat him on the head when he's done and say, "Good boy."

[Johonny]

4. No one thinks this, but he wants to keep his job

Which makes it hilarious

[OGBuzz]

5. What drives these people?

Burgum is 69, a billionaire, and he will never be President or V.P. Yet he chooses to humiliate himself by worshipping at the altar of Trump.

8. Damned if I know. I get that there are ambitious politicians who think they have to kiss Trump's ass

in order to climb the ladder or keep their jobs or avoid being primaried, but what's the motivation for a guy like Burgum? Sure, Trump could sack him if he didn't keep up the ass-kissing and probably would, but so what? He's stinking rich and too old for a serious future career in politics. Maybe he's worried about protecting his business interests from some vindictive move by Trump? I can't think of any other rational reason why some of these people are so eager to sacrifice their dignity. Is there a tailor in D.C. who specializes in reinforcing the knees of men's suit pants?

9. If I was 69 and worth a billion or two I'd be lying....

under a palm tree on my private island with a 5 gallon bucket filled with strawberry daiquiri and a very long straw.
I hope they know just how pathetic they look to the rest of us.

11. Me, too.

And all these people should have figured out by now that getting involved with Trump in the first place is like the Hotel California or the Mafia: You can never check out. You opt in at the beginning because you think you'll benefit politically or financially, but then you realize you have to keep wearing out your lips on his butt because the minute you stop kissing you'll find a horse's head in your bed.

[OGBuzz]

12. I think Trump despises the people who kiss his ass more than anyone else.

He understands the term 'lickspittle' all too well, and he has zero respect for them.

[Johonny]

14. I assume greed

He's insider trading along with everyone else.

[Goonch]

6. ;-{) TRUMP DUMP

[Efilroft Sul]

7. Everything Trump touches dies. I believe Rick Wilson said that.

[tavernier]

10. First of all, it's not true.

And B. - Correct me if I missed something when we were listing our top 10 reasons to elect a president: I don’t believe restorations and construction was anywhere on the list.

[allegorical oracle]

13. It's as if there's someone in the WH Comms office who makes this insipid stuff up and

passes their spiel to them when they're scheduled for a TV appearance. Their obsequious statements are just so over the top. Nobody ever just says, "Yeah, I'm enjoying my job here...."

15. If by better he means dead,

then I agree.
