This is why people say magapublicans are weird, they're so out of touch!
Has Vance never been in a bakery before!? Quick tip: when they ask you what you want, don't reply "I mean a lot of glazed here. Some sprinkle stuff. Some of these cinnamon rolls. Just whatever makes sense."
What??
Try ordering from the menu. Or ask them what's good. Or request an assortment of the most popular kinds...
It's one donut JD, how much could it cost, $10?
Or lean into your stupid richness. Buy five of everything and just start handing them out.
Oh, no. The one thing rich people never want to do is give people handouts!
They'd claim they handed them out, but in reality only their team got one each, and the rest were thrown away (and sprinkled with poison to make sure they don't get pulled out of the dumpster)
I mean, I think he really did want to count out one each. I'm not sure the man has ever bought donuts in his life.
Rich people want their own handouts cause they deserve it unless those filthy plebs. Those plebs are only taking advantage of the system.
If I were trying to be fair, I'd argue that that basically was an attempt to order an assorted dozen, albeit an awkward one.
But fascists don't deserve fairness, so I won't.
I bet Walz stops at a donut shop tomorrow. I think he knows his way around one quite well.
This sounds awfully close to "Dijon mustard on a burger! How out of touch can you be!" Levels of ridiculousness.
You gotta see it from their perspective, they're CEOs (presumably) and aren't used to knowing the details. They just vaguely point in vague directions ("pitch") and let the employees figure out the rest.
