So THIS was embarrassing: The wheels TOTALLY came off Glenn Thrush's latest Trump analogy

And they wonder why we make fun of them …

Today it feels like the wheels are coming off before the lug nuts were even put on https://t.co/lIhmoskvcc

From reading this tweet you’d wonder if perhaps Glenn Thrush has ever seen a tire, let alone understands how lug nuts work. Spoiler, this gets funnier further down the article … seriously.

Of course the wheels will come off if you don't put the lug nuts on. WTF, dude. Who taught you analogies? https://t.co/8Q3VLNJA62

Dude, he works for the New York Times.

‘Nuff said.

That person calls Triple A for flats.

Probably.

He wanted to drive somewhere with better light first.

Heh.

Becket got in on the jabbing as well:

And then Glenn got his tires all wadded up and snapped back:

Worked in a tire retreading shop for 3 years — you? https://t.co/X2EOwhDHKD

Was this a magical tire shop where tires didn’t need lug nuts to stay on?

And we realize Glenn thinks he was slamming Becket here, but doesn’t the fact that he worked in a tire shop make his analogy that much dumber? Just sayin’.

*snort*
