were this not sadly actually taking place, it would make a great slapstick comedy script

the president of the United States points to a secret service agent carrying the nuclear suitcase. Nudges the next closest person and says, "Guess what? That guy is carrying the nuclear codes. Know how I know that? I'm the president!" That person then gets a phone pic. Publishes on Facebook. The secret service informs the president, hey don't do things like that. The president replies, "Oh SECRET Service! I get it".

The president hosts the Russian ambassador in the white house. Exclaims "Hey know how important I am? I get highly sensitive intelligence such as..." Goes on to reveal that information, point blank. Russian officials elbow each other, marveling at their good fortune as a result of the remarkable stupidity just put on display. The president later looks around at the white house officials panicking and scrambling while going into major damage control. The president looks around and remarks, "What, I wasn't supposed to do that? Someone's gotta tell me these things!"

Same president appoints his remarkably unqualified son in law Secretary of Just About Everything. Sends him as an envoy to try to achieve Middle East peace. Son in law bones up on Mid East history while waiting for the ski lift in between runs. "Hey I darn near bit it on that last double diamond. Got to do that again! In the meantime, oh year that mid east thing. Where's my phone, got to get this down! A couple more runs down the slope, with some mid east readin' in between, and I'll be able to get this mideast peace thingy done!"

Every single freaking day we wake up to another addition to a movie script worthy of Curly Larry and Moe. I'm all for a good slapstick comedy, but not when it's filmed in the white house, for real.

Not sure how much more I can take.
