Donald Trump’s Starburst candies are now being sorted into colors by GOP congressional staffers
If the Republican Congress is trying to dispense with the perception that it’s having to coddle Donald Trump like a crying infant, it’s not helping itself. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, an idiot who never does know when to keep his mouth shut, just revealed a new detail that’s equal parts embarrassing and completely inappropriate: congressional resources are now literally being used to sort Trump’s candies by color.
McCarthy – the same idiot who bragged during the election his Republican Party’s Benghazi hearings were nothing more than a partisan attempt at sabotaging Hillary Clinton’s approval rating – is at it again. This time he’s bragging to the Washington Post (link). about how he’s managed to become Trump’s new right hand man in Congress. McCarthy says he learned that Trump’s two favorite Starburst colors are red and pink, and so he forced a congressional staffer to sort out Starburst candies by color and so he could give Trump a jar that only had the red and pink ones.
No really, this happened. This is an actual passage from the WaPo today: “Days later, the No. 2 Republican in the House — known for his relentless cultivation of political alliances — bought a plentiful supply of Starbursts and asked a staffer to sort through the pile, placing only those two flavors in a jar. McCarthy made sure his name was on the side of the gift, which was delivered to a grinning Trump.”
This helps to confirm everything that the rest of us already knew about Donald Trump. He’s such a bratty child that he literally has to be given candy so he’ll behave, and he’s such a narcissist that a worthless clown like Kevin McCarthy can climb straight to the top of Trump’s pecking order simply by giving him candy. It also means that McCarthy is grossly misusing congressional resources by forcing staffers to sort Trump’s candy. McCarthy needs to resign. Trump needs to be committed.
