On Wednesday morning Donald Trump wandered out of the White House to speak in front of workers who were busy erecting two new flag poles that were given as a gift.
What followed was a rambling series of comments about flag poles with him noting the White House is now in possession of the best flag poles in the world.
In his trademark blue suit, sans tie, the leader of the free world stated, "I've always said why doesn't [it] have a flagpole from the grass. They call it a flagpole from the grass. They have a little one on top, very little one. This is about the largest you'll ever see and it's tapered."
"It's a quality that you guys rarely get to even put up," he remarked, speaking to the workers. "They do that for a living, they're incredible people. I don't know them, but I love them and I would bet that they all voted for Trump. I mean, I don't know for a fact, but I think so, but we're about to lift it."
After pointing out where both poles were about to be erected, he added, "In this case we had a lot of choices putting it on that hill, putting it different places. It's such a beautiful pole we thought we'd put it near. I mean, it always looks best when it's near... and these are the best poles anywhere in the country or in the world actually. They're tapered, they have the nice top, you know."
