Trump Appears In Ridiculous Cowboy Hat Photo During White House Event

Donald Trump tried to play it cool on Friday, but the optics did not help.

As fresh photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate came out, Trump shrugged off the concerns and posed with a white cowboy hat, a gift from members of the 1980 U.S. Men’s Olympic Hockey team.

Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump insisted the photos were “no big deal.” “Well, I haven’t seen them,” he said. “But, I mean, everybody knew this man. He was all over Palm Beach; he has photos with everybody. Hundreds and hundreds of people have photos with him, so that’s no big deal.”

Sorrel Brookes was valedictorian of his class. Entered Columbia University at 16, graduated at 19. He was fluent in 5 languages and "dabbled" with 6 more.

He also served in the Army as a counterintelligence officer.

It’s obvious those who want his favors will treat him like a spoiled child to get their way. Like the FIFA trophy, or the one from Apples’s ceo Cook, medals from foreign leaders etc.

He remembered how stupid Calvin Coolidge had looked in a Native American headdress.

Trump, who has no knowledge of history, managed to make himself look even more like a doofus than normal.

Just like I had when I was . . . like 4 or 5.

Along with some cowboy boots and a pair of six shooters.

Never a real pony though.

Red corduroy vest and skirt trimmed with white "leather" fringe, a white hat, cowgirl boots and a holster with two cap guns.
I wish someone had taken a photo of me then....

Great chaps you've got there "pardner!"
