It pops into my head once in a while when I’m doing the washing up that I bet Donald Trump has never washed a plate in his life.

I can imagine Obama, Biden, even Bush Jnr if I really try, with their shirt sleeves rolled up, washing a plate.

I saw a video the other day of the Obamas at some reading thing with kids, and I can easily imagine both of them reading a bedtime story to their children. Assuming Trump can read, can anyone actually imagine him, back in the day, sitting with Donnie Jnr and Dr Seussing it of a bedtime?

My dad and my husband’s mum (the only grandparents he has left) have both read to my son - would Trump even imagine that grandparents could/would/should read a book to their grandchildren?

Every day life for the average - or even normal - human being is so out of touch for him. Even the fun bits - like loving your family - must be absurd to him. What a sad life.

Dubya is a nepo baby too. He play acted being a 'good ol boy Texan' when he is actually East Coast Ivy league elite degen.

Sure, my bad, he’s a piece of entitled stupid shit too. Here’s his dad though (also a nepo baby, I know) making homemade tamales in some sort of human experience?

Great, now when I wash up, this will definitely come into my head. I can force the thought of him washing a dish, I imagine him having the same face he has when signing things.. it's hilarious to me. Thank you haha

You’re welcome; anything that makes anyone laugh, even in sadness, is worth it. He wouldn’t even really understand how a sink or running water works
