Was it a dump truck?


Donald Trump’s truck moment tells us nothing and everything about his presidency Honk honk.

Is this the most important moment of Donald Trump’s presidency? Probably not.

But if you want to really extend this metaphor to death, here’s one possibility: Trump came into office expecting to, basically, Art of the Deal his way through the job — striking the best, most beautiful deals to repeal Obamacare, eliminate trade treaties, chase out undocumented immigrants, and bring back jobs. This was all a great act on the campaign trail, and Trump’s supporters loved it.

But much like Trump’s driving in the images above, it was all an act. And Trump is now learning that no amount of miming and showmanship will let him move the parked truck — or Congress — on the current debates about health care and future pieces of legislation if people and lawmakers just don’t like what he’s proposing.

Really, though, this is just a funny moment. Enjoy it.
