The level of detail is impressive.

The White House has installed plaques along President Donald Trump’s “Presidential Walk of Fame,” offering descriptions of his predecessors, often written in the style of his social media posts — including insults, baseless claims and random capitalization.

Nobody asked for a “presidential walk of fame” but he had to slap one up so that he could make his insults and caricatures that little bit more conspicuous.

What’s a walk of fame anyway? Former presidents are already “famous” in some sense, because of being former presidents. What need is there to give them a “walk of fame”? Apart from creating a new way to crap on them, that is, which I guess answers the question. Anyway there’s that thing in Hollywood, so obviously that appeals to prezident pinhead.

A plaque at the front of the exhibit, which lines the walkway outside the West Wing of the White House, says it was “conceived, built, and dedicated” by Trump “as a tribute to past Presidents, good, bad and somewhere in the middle, who served our Country, and gave up so much in so doing.”

Which, being interpreted, means he gave up so much in “serving our Country”.

The plaque for former President Joe Biden, who is represented by a photo of an autopen, leans on familiar Trump grievances. “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History. Taking office as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States, Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction,” part of the plaque reads. “But despite it all, President Trump would get Re-Elected in a Landslide, and SAVE AMERICA!”

Sigh.

“The plaques are eloquently written descriptions of each President and the legacy they left behind. As a student of history, many were written directly by the President himself,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement when asked for more information about who’s paying for them.

No. Eloquently written they are not. Nothing Trump writes is ever eloquent. Nothing. Ever. He has a distinctive style, and it’s a very very bad one. It’s childish and vituperative and vulgar.
