    “The head of Sharpie gets a call. I don’t even know who the hell he is,” Trump said. “He said, ‘Is this really the president?’”

    And:

    Sharpie’s parent company, Atlanta‑based Newell Brands, said in a statement that it had no information about the specific conversation Trump described.

    There’s a very real chance he just called a local Staples and placed a normal order for custom designed sharpie and laid the same price anyone else would have…

    “Is this President Sharpie? Because this is President Trump, and I really need to speak to President Sharpie about a custom designed sharpie.”

    “Ummm, I’m just the support guy currently on duty. But sure, you can call me President Sharpie if you want. I guess.”

    If you want expensive writing tools fountain pens are where the gold is at. You can’t be dumbfuck stupid and write with a fountain pen though. Signing everything with a cheap sharpie is one step above using crayons or a finger he just wiped between his ass cheeks.

    Part of me thinks he watched some inspiring monologue in a movie or show where the character takes an unrelated topic and ties it back to the previous discussion to great effect and thinks “oh that’s easy, I could do that.”
