It's been almost a week since the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board Meeting where Donald Trump erroneously referred to Apple CEO Tim Cook as "Tim Apple" – to his face.

Trump praised the tech giant, telling him, "You've really put a big investment in our country. We appreciate it very much, Tim Apple."

The internet had a field day with the name gaffe and roasted 45's penchant for butchering the names of industry leaders like Marillyn Hewson – the CEO of Lockheed Martin – to whom Trump addressed as "Marillyn Lockheed."

But like every major slip up, the liar-in-chief always has an excuse.

On this occasion, his explanation was about saving time. Who knew he was so conservative with his precious minutes?

On Tuesday, Trump tweeted:

"At a recent round table meeting of business executives, & long after formally introducing Tim Cook of Apple, I quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim/Apple as an easy way to save time & words."

Of course, no Donald Trump tweet is complete without shifting the blame towards the media.

"The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!"


Well, now, that makes sense!

His attempt in sparing us from wasting time made Twitter notice Trump's resemblance to a character from NBC's The Office.

Fans of the show may remember Kevin Malone – played by Brian Baumgartner – who was notorious for ridiculously skimping on words in an effort to save time.

Just like Trump!

People quickly drew the comparison between the president and Kevin Malone from the comedy show's season eight episode, "The Incentive."








People didn't miss the opportunity to dive-bomb Trump's excuse.






Here's a "greatest hits" montage of Trump's embarrassing name flubs. Sure, we've all been guilty of forgetting people's names, but we're also not ruining the country, (coughs) running the country.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States:






With two more years of "Donald Hourglass" in office, it's already four years of precious time we'll never get back.

Make your vote count for 2020, people.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
