The Bulwark posted this clip of President Donald Trump in the Oval Office talking to reporters, so you know they think it makes him look bad. Trump told reporters that travel would be better than before, when a man named Boot-edge-edge was Transportation Secretary under President Joe Biden and tried to patch together air traffic control systems.
Trump: "We had a guy named Buttigieg. Boot-edge-edge they say is the best way. Just say two 'edges' like off the edge of a cliff — which is where they were taking us, by the way." pic.twitter.com/rCgaEiYWt6

He’s so clever. The bon mots drop from his lips as sweetly as the sugared sonnets of Shakespeare.

"Off the edge of a cliff" is a brilliant improvisation.
Greatest president of all time and it isn't close

Pete Butigieg caught the clip and said that he'd deal with it later, as he was busy making dinner for the kiddos.
Just getting dinner onto the table for the kiddos, will deal with this later. https://t.co/ZP4m3VtFEW

Same strategy you had on fixing the Air Traffic Control system https://t.co/x0nhCa0Txm

BOOM.
Remarkably, "will deal with this later" is exactly how Pete Buttigieg did his work as Secretary of Transportation

A train carrying hazardous chemicals jumped the tracks in East Palestine, Ohio … he'd deal with that later. Much later.
Buttigieg as Transportation Secretary once went on paternity leave for months and didn’t bother to let anyone know at the height of a supply chain crisis. True story. https://t.co/wujT2Tpx9J

Deal with it like you dealt with everything as “transportation secretary”? 😂

You've never dealt with anything in a timely manner, so no rush. For most of your term, we forgot you actually had a job in the Biden administration.

We are good bud. Have a nice evening.

No need to "deal with it." We're good with what Trump said.
Trump is just the best!! You are off a cliff. 😂😂

Or under a racist overpass.
