What a schmuck.
President Donald Trump could only make it two minutes into a speech at the White House’s Hanukkah reception Tuesday before completely derailing it by yapping about his favorite topic: himself.
Trump kicked off his remarks by condemning the mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney on Sunday. After reading off a few generic lines about how the antisemitic act that killed 15 Jewish people was a “terrible, terrible thing,” he moved on to introduce those in attendance at the reception.
When he read the name of Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) — the former White House physician turned GOP lawmaker — Trump decided to very abruptly change gears.
“He was my White House doctor,” Trump said before taking a few familiar jabs at his Democratic predecessors. “Ronny was asked, ‘Who’s the healthiest of all? Was it Barack Hussein Obama? Was it Sleepy Joe Biden? Or was it Donald Trump?’ And he said, ‘Trump was by far the healthiest.’”
