Fox News:   WATCH: Trump goes viral for illustrating how to cut government waste with his favorite White House pen

Kathryn Wilkens / Mediaite:   Sharpie Rebuts Trump's Account of Phone Call With Company: 'We Don't Have Any Information About the Conversation'

Linda Qiu / New York Times:   On Trump's Mind: Iran, Inflation and Sharpies

Lee Moran / HuffPost:   Trump Dedicated 5 Minutes Of A Cabinet Meeting To Talking About What?!?

Finn Hartnett / New Republic:   Trump Shared Totally Made-Up Conversation in Cabinet Meeting

Uh, Fox, he didn't "go viral" because what he said was so brilliant. It's because it's a load of pointless crap that didn't belong in a cabinet neeting, & people were stupified by it. As if he really were handing US$1,000 gold pens to children. And are the effing pens even actual Sharpies®? Sharpie® has never heard of this conversation, so where the hell he'd get them?

LATER: Analysis (calling Kegsbreath the "Sec'y. of Tetrosterone" is deep analysis) & not just of the Sharpie® spiel, via B.J. Why didn't I think of "Not-So-Sharpie®"?
