What they say:
It's time once again for us to take a step back from covering the news of the day and look back at everything that made 2018 the year we all want to forget and we'll start with the one guy who
won't let us forget him President Donald J. Trump.
Now look now look I'm not gonna lie.
This year we spent so much time on Trump's evilness, and we didn't really get to enjoy one of his most important characteristics, and that is the dude is super weird.
But like seriously guys, the president is a weird dude.
We just never talked about it because it all happens under the evil all right and when you
think about it, a lot of evil guys, if you ignore the evil part, they’re also just like really weird all right? like a lot of super villains.
Like the penguin in Batman if he wasn't always threatening Gotham, you’d be like “hey penguin, you're weird dude.
What's with all this penguin shit anyways? Is it a sex thing? Was one of your parents a penguin?
I mean if I look like a penguin, I wouldn't be leading into it by wearing a tuxedo. Like, you know what I mean?
Like I’d wear a different colored shirt, break it up with a belt or something.”
Well Trump is the same way. So for a minute, we're not gonna pay attention to the bad things he does, right? We're just gonna enjoy how weird the present is.
So let's take a moment to look back on 2018, the year in Trump being weird.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To truly enjoy how weird President Trump is, we have to listen to him speak and not what he says, cuz that'll make you crazy. But how he says it.
Because all politicians perform when they give a speech, but when Trump does it it's like, really weird.
“I want to congratulate the North Dakota State bison Canada Nevada and Hispanic
yeah I think so any Asians asian asian any Asian…
Donald Trump's very very large a brain
you know the Wyndemere long bone being
that's the end of that one now the road
is no longer a straight shot it's now
what keep America great exclamation
point the Democrat Party is radical
socialism Venezuela and open borders
What is that? Like, he's speaking and then all of a sudden... It's like Trump is a one-man barbershop quartet.
He should start his speeches with a pitch pipe. He should just be like democrat socialism
venezuela. that's why we got to build a wall but not a real wall, a series of artistically designed metal slats.
The dude is weird and here's another thing. Did you guys ever notice that whenever he's done using something, he just drops it on the ground? Like he doesn't look for a place to put... yeah
Here, take a look.

No here's the thing here's the thing, like the umbrella, I can sort of get, right. The water bottle? That's quirky. But the microphone? That's just weird.
He takes the mic, and he’s like, “I guess you just drop it. I mean if the man with the silver tray is not here, you just drop it.”
And just randomly leaving things on the ground is gonna come back and bite him in the ass. because if Trump ever has to run from the law, which he will have to, Mueller can just follow his trail of objects for wherever he's hiding.
Trump would be like, “how did you find me?”
But like, I just followed the trail of staples and umbrellas and MDAs…”
“Oh the stapler. I was looking for that. thank you! There you go.”
But here's the number-one moments of Trump being weird in 2018.
It happened in October, right when we were focusing on the Cavanaugh hearings.
Those were going on, people were protesting in the streets, so we couldn't enjoy the
weirdness of this moment guys watch this, and tell me we are living in the real world.
Yesterday while boarding Air Force One in Minneapolis commander-in-chief climbing the stairs with what appears to be some toilet paper stuck to his shoe at the top of this there is a wave to
the crowds below Trump then turns and it seems like he was finally freed and the pesky piece of paper people
The President of the United States got out of a limo and into Air Force one with toilet paper stuck on his shoe.
Do you understand how weird this is? Because there's only two ways this could have happened, right?
The first way is that President Trump wiped his butt in the limo right? Possible but unlikely.
But the other way is that the President of the United States got toilet paper stuck on his
shoe in a bathroom, then walked past hundreds of people, Secret Service, White House aides and no one said anything no one.
He's so weird that everyone saw it and they were like, that's probably his new thing?
But honestly, my favorite thing Donald Trump does that I enjoy when I'm not spending time being terrified is just like, I don't know, he just, he has a way with words.
I know words I had the best words from the Wright brothers to that
beautiful Orion's space capsicum the
federal government is conducting an
aggressive investigation to be the first
president to stand with you here at the
White House to address the wall is under
construction a lot of work has been done
a lot of renovation if you look at some of it assistant secretaries your jar and
Surgeon General Adams joining us from al-jabbar Air Base in Kuwait is the Central Command Chris response and crisis response we want you to put defensive missiles and missiles
I'll significantly beating expectations in the house for the Midtown and return
