  4. In that moment, it would be hilarious to hear that.

    “Why the f*** would I want to speak to **him**?!”

  5. The clown show populated by completely unqualified and incapable presidential staff continues. Wanna bet the ‘aide’ was some good looking blonde that can’t add 2 3 digit numbers without a calculator?

  6. Maybe he mixed up McDonalds phoning in his lunch order with McMasters? Who amongst us hasn’t made this mistake?

  7. Trump has Putin in his phone as “Master” and accidentally chose “McMaster” instead.

  10. “I think nobody knows more about calling the wrong number than I do, maybe in the history of the world.”

  11. You *do* not know anyone as *stupid* as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”

  12. The buried lede here is that Trump presumably asked someone to get H.R. McMaster on the phone, and nobody was able to identify that he was demented, and intervene.

  15. He was calling the HR department at McDonald’s about his paycheck

  16. If Biden had done this, Republicans would be screaming about invoking the 25th amendment

  17. My grandpa did that last week but has Alzheimer’s. To clarify he called me, not H.R. McMaster. To further clarify my grandpa called me, not Trump, Trump didn’t call me, my grandpa did. Also, I don’t think that my grandpa called Trump but at this point I’m so confused, maybe he did..

  18. “How dare you let me accidentally call you! Also it’s sleepy Joes fault”

  19. Senile. Dementia. Pick whichever word you prefer, but the man has lost it.

  20. Trump has dementia, so he likely told his staff to get H.R. McMaster on the phone, and because his staff are just incompetent yes-men, they didn’t even question it.

  21. Did he also accidentally add Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic to the call?

  22. Telephone, an old fashioned term, a great term. *Tele*-phone. It’s like a box with people in it.

  25. Trump: WHY THE HELL AM I SPEAKING TO THE PERSON I CALLED?!

    *ketchup splatters*

  26. The incompetence of this administration transcends every level of it. All incapable morons with unearned ego.

  27. >It isn’t known who placed the call to the wrong McMaster, but one person told CBS News it was an aide who works with the president.

    ITT: Nobody read the article and speculates that perhaps an aide messed up, or that Trump for some reason makes his own phone calls and dementia-dialed someone

  28. Not to defend trump, but “he” didn’t accidentally make the call. It was a staffer.

  31. There has never been a more incompetent person in the White House.

  33. That sounds more like dementia than anything Biden ever did. Yet most of the media will ignore this, as usual.

  34. Getting an unexpected call from the orange blight should get McMasters another medal.

  35. Another example of utter incompetence. Calling HR McMaster instead of Henry McMaster is on the same level as holding a presidential campaign event at Four Seasons landscaping.
