Yes, of course he flipped off the astronauts. Of course he did. Do you even have to-huh? What am I talking about? Why this. It's around the 2:15 mark.

The President of the United States everybody...

Pretty sure this is what the
President was picturing when
someone said female astronaut.

Yeah, it's ok. I know you didn't click on it. It's a thing we do. I'll describe, but really, do watch it. Words simply will not do it justice but here, let me set the scene: the President was talking to astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir via satellite when he referred to this as the first time female astronauts have worked outside of the space station. Meir politely pointed out that she and Koch don't deserve credit for that particular milestone since women have worked on the exterior of the station before. This was the first time there's been an all female space walk (which is an important step in itself) and Meir didn't want to take credit for something that she didn't do-which I suppose is an alien concept for the President. But whatever, simple mistake, right? Like, I think Trump is a narcissistic, lying goon with a thin skin and a the intellect of a cactus, but this was an honest mistake.

earn their positions through merit.

Anyone could have made this sort of error. And what a great opportunity to learn something new. Any normal, well-adjusted person might have responded with something like "Really? I didn't know that. How fascinating!" But no, the former host of The Apprentice made like a petulant pre-teen and pretended to smooth his butterscotch-colored coiffure with his stubby middle digit. Like I said, of course he did. I'm sure his fans will leap to his defense and insist that we're making something out of nothing but they would be wrong.

Obviously this pales in comparison to his many crimes he's so indignant about being investigated for, but it does speak to why most of us dislike him so much. This wasn't a mistake or an unfortunate, absent-minded gesture caught on camera but the deliberate, childish act of a small man who can't stand it when he's not the center of attention.

This. This is why no one likes you Mr. President.
Well, this and all the other shit you do and stand for.
