Recipient of Einstein Visa for excellence in the field of dropping her panties says FDR wouldn't have done a Moron Dance

Trump gave the bizarre anecdote during a meandering 90-minute speech at the House GOP’s retreat on Tuesday. He ranted about everything from the media coverage of his health to his fears about being impeached if Democrats win the midterms.

“My wife hates when I do this,” Trump said of his signature move, which he usually busts out at the end of events and campaign rallies.

“You know, she’s a very classy person, right? She said: ‘It’s so unpresidential.’ I said: ‘But I did become president… Everybody wants me to dance.

“She actually said, could you imagine FDR dancing?” Trump continued, as the audience laughed uncomfortably.

Consider he could have said any President and picks, I think, the only President for whom that would have been difficult.

that FDR was in a wheelchair. He's pretty ignorant about stuff like that. He's never made any nasty remarks about it - and that seems like the kind of thing he'd latch onto and make douchebaggy remarks about! Now, Melania may know FDR was in a wheelchair and it may be Melania's way of being a douchebag.
