‘You absolutely need to watch this with sound. It doesn’t seem possible, but you absolutely do’

You might already have seen some of the things people have been saying about Donald Trump today after he posed for photographers standing outside a church holding a bible.

But the key thing here is to watch all 13 seconds of this outstanding presidential photo opportunity. And definitely – definitely – to turn your sound all the way up.

you absolutely need to watch this with sound. it doesn't seem possible that you do, but you absolutely do. https://t.co/6b5tNedjsv

"It's *a* bible."

Seriously, they're going to be laughing about this for centuries, if not thousands of years. Just hope we in the present don't go through too much pain for the sake of this joker.

What's striking about that footage of Donald Trump is that he doesn't say anything apart from "It's a Bible." He offers no words, he quotes no passages. He's an entirely empty individual. The very essence of stupid.
