CBS News reports it took the White House twenty-two minutes to figure out how to enable the listening only feature on a conference call:
This White House cant even run a fucking conference call, a reporter on an unmuted phone line angrily exclaimed to the entire call. They dont know how to mute their line.
Its the illegitimate media that doesnt know how to conduct themselves. They cant mute their fucking phones, an unidentified official said. Mute your phones.
Another White House official repeatedly attempted to quiet the noisy line so the people in charge could talk.
I think if everyone had half a brain and common sense and muted their phones, this wouldnt be a problem, she yelled in an apparent fit of frustration.
Hello? Hello?, one reporter interjected, some 15 minutes after the slated start of the call. Has the call started?
This is Kim Jong Un calling for Donald Trump, another reporter joked as tensions flared.

Then he micromanages them, demands excellence or they're fired.
They're the tops, and he's on top of it.

At the beginning of the Trump admin, for months there were offices that were dark because no one could figure out how to turn the lights on
They are all clueless
I remember Stephen Colbert had some advice for everyone who works in the Trump WH ... "if you find a red button on the presidents desk, that does NOT turn the lights on!"
