Trump Claims Joe Biden Took a Crap on the Resolute Desk During Baseless and Disgusting Rant

What a buffoon.

As Donald Trump launched into his Trumpisms at a recent private event, he went into a litany of countries that we might welcome immigrants from. Guess what color the people from the countries he named — Denmark, Switzerland, and Norway — predominantly are.

Trump’s racism goes back a long way, to the point that you might remember April Ryan asking him multiple times, “Mr. Trump, are you a racist?”

Of course, that provoked a fierce response from Team Biden, basically accusing Trump of being, you guessed it, a racist.

But reporting from the New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman says that Trump went a lot further than that with jokes he likely thought would never get reported on, because he still hasn’t learned what the internet is.

There’s no way the average person knows what the Resolute Desk is unless you watched Nicolas Cage track it down for a fictional artifact in the movie National Treasure, but it is very real. So back to Haberman:

Mr. Trump blamed his successor, Mr. Biden, for the influx of migrants and mocked him and aides for what Mr. Trump said were bad decisions made around the Resolute Desk, which has been used by two dozen presidents.

“The Resolute Desk is beautiful,” Mr. Trump said. “Ronald Reagan used it, others used it.”

He then denigrated Mr. Biden, sounding disgusted, according to the attendee: “And he’s using it. I might not use it the next time. It’s been soiled. And I mean that literally, which is sad.”

The attendee who witnessed the moment said that dinner guests laughed and that Mr. Trump’s remark was interpreted as the former president saying that Mr. Biden had defecated on the desk.”

Trump literally made a poop joke about President Biden after his own people, during the Capitol insurrection, smeared that very same substance all over the place — and were captured in photos doing it.

He called countries with primarily brown occupants “shithole countries,” in contrast with the whiter countries.

We have photos of Trump, in khakis stained in the rear, on a golf course, playing without a care, but he thinks he can suggest that President Biden took a dump on the Resolute Desk? That just ridiculous.

I may not know much, but I know Trump is full of something he likes to joke about.
