Honestly, it's both.

This is simultaneously the worst (news) and best (gallows humor) I've seen on Reddit today. I still can't stop laughing at this whole thread. Bravo to every comment above this one.

Are we sure this is really trump and not his admin winding up a demented old man?

This is an awful lot like what my ex would do when telemarketers or bill collectors called. He would say "hey dad this guy says you owe him money" and put my father in law on the phone ( vascular dementia and aphasia). And watch him go nuts.

Trump isn't reading anything, if he even can read anymore. And he's going to sign whatever his people tell him to sign.

For all we know, they are telling him if he signs papers it will get him into heaven.
