Demented Trump boring and baffling and maybe scaring schoolkids in the Oval Office, the kids just props

for him signing a proclamation on school fitness while he rambles about golf and elections and war.

and now let's check in on the Oval Office, where Trump is surrounded by children and ranting about Gary Player

Trump: "He's been a great golfer from the day he was born, if you believe in genetics. I do."

Trump pushes the big lie while surrounded by kids: "It was a rigged election"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-05T15:08:14.126Z



Trump to a group of kids: "He doesn't take the fat shot, okay? I said, 'Do you ever take the shot?' He didn't even know what the hell I was talking about."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-05T15:11:33.719Z



Trump to a bunch of kids: "Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him?"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-05T15:12:29.334Z



Trump to kids: "I've never had one person say it's important we allow women to be challenged by men in women's sports"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-05T15:13:53.078Z



Trump: "We hit an all-time high stock market today despite that we're in a little skirmish. I call it a skirmish."


(He called it a "military operation" and "war" yesterday.)

Trump: "I ended eight wars. Nobody else ever ended a war."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-05T15:16:33.453Z



Trump to a group of kids: "We can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon. You might be too young for this. They probably know better than most people. But you can't let a bunch of lunatics have a nuclear weapon. So we just hit records on the Dow."

the optics of this Oval Office event are absolutely insane. get a load of this. crazytown.

Was parental consent required for those youngsters to be in the presence of that abuser?

celebrities who already have everything yet they still feel the need to feed this man's ego. Shame on Gary Player for dragging his grandson to witness the Trump shit-show.
Full respect to the U.S. women's gold medal winning hockey team that did not visit the Oval Office despite receiving an invitation.

Later he went outside and tried to impress the kids by putting. According to Ron Filipkowsi, he missed every shot and then gave up.
