    Aren’t you supposed to plan appearances like this ahead of time to prevent this exact thing from happening?

      Plan? The only plan they got is project 2025. I don’t think it spells out how to order donuts without acting weird.

        Imagine ordering ANYTHING as vaguely as “some of this, some of that, whatever makes sense”.

        “Sir, that’s not even a real order. I don’t have time for your bullshit.”

          Reminds me of customers at the bank I used to work for who would want the teller to pick which account the money went into. Like bro, make an effort.

          In his defense. And that’s the only time i will ever say that. The Dunkin Donuts around here will do a mixed dozen where the employee just puts 12 random flavors in the box. It’s possible he was expecting that.

        The heritage foundation did serious planning.

        Then they outsourced it to these guys, who didn’t do shit.

      Imagine being born in a position of privledge, and never being told “no” in your entire life. Why would you ever make a plan when you make the subconscious assumption that everyone operates around what you want?

      On a related note, this is why “Woke” is so offensive to people like JD Vance. “We were doing just fine before you people started complaining!” is an easy thought to have from the lap of luxuryn

        Because their whole life has been geared toward allowing them to believe they are entitled to everything.

        As always, calling others “entitled” was pure projection.

        from my understanding (and thats making the whole situation even more baffling) he grew up in a ohioan blue-collar family, which means he probably heard “no” more then enough.

        especially regarding the family couch.

      They’re all magas here were I work so it didn’t work out as well, but our congressional rep planned a stop over here so I planned a day off. I wish more people would have done that, but I live in asshole land. :/

        When I worked at a store that sold guns in 2016, supposedly there was a chance that a certain oddly-colored cheeto would be making a PR appearance after a speech in town.

        I straight up told my manager if they actually think it’s a real possibility then I will not be returning to work after my lunch break. I don’t think for a second my threat actually made a difference, but I’d like to think my manager and district manager would take their ONLY trained tech for their most profitable services in 8 states and risk them leaving over a PR stunt they know will piss off half the people who shop there.

        However when one of the red hats found out that the district manager called corporate to say it wasn’t a good idea, they quit. Granted, nobody cared since it was their first week, but I know they were talking about being desperate for work they were qualified for that won’t do a background check. So they quit over stupid shit when they apparently needed the money.

        Logic is not strong with that crowd.

      Planning is only as good as the planner. Sometimes you still end up giving a press conference at the wrong Four Seasons.

      they’re so full of themselves they cannot conceive of someone who doesn’t want to comply with them and get a moment of fame on TV. that person denying to be on camera probably destroyed his mood for the whole day as he wondered what he did- “there’s no way she hates me so much she doesn’t want to be seen on TV next to me… I’m famous!”
