REVEALED: Trump repeatedly interrupted briefings to ask bizarre questions about badgers President Donald Trump frequently interrupted briefings to satisfy his preoccupation with badgers when Wisconsin native Reince Priebus was his White House chief of staff. “After Trump was reminded that the short-legged omnivore was practically synonymous with the Badger State, he’d make a point of bringing it up at seemingly random occasions to his beleaguered chief of staff,” wrote authors Lachlan Markay and Asawin Suebsaeng. “‘Are they mean to people?’ Trump at least twice asked Priebus in the opening months of his presidency,” the authors wrote. “‘Or are they friendly creatures?’ The president would also ask if Priebus had any photos of badgers he could show him, and if Priebus could carefully explain to him how badgers ‘work’ exactly.” www.rawstory.com/2020/02/revealed-trump-repeatedly-interrupted-briefings-to-ask-bizarre-questions-about-badgers/?utm_source=quora&utm_medium=referral

It sounds like Trump thought it was funny to keep "badgering" Priebus

If only Trump would make a nice tea out of that Amanita Muscaria we might get somewhere.

my point: how ignorant is this guy? My question is why is this guy thinking about badgers when he's supposed to be running the country?Isn't it bad enough he golfs 1/4 of his working days?

I'd like to see him play a round of golf with Laurent Hurtubise, the one-armed golfer from Quebec. Laurent would eat Trump's lunch, while Trump would whine he has an unfair advantage. www.cnn.com/2020/01/17/golf/laurent-hurtubise-gold-one-arm-pga-spt-intl/index.html

Because that would be awesome.

So we release 100 angry badgers triggered by the smell of hair spray and the color of human flesh toasted to an orange tanning bed glow? Besides, I'm willing to be Laurent is fully capable of outrunning the guy who famously drives his golf cart over the greens because he's too damn lazy to walk.
