Thank U, Steve

While defending his racist border wall to reporters on Friday, Donald Trump had an inadvertently relatable moment, mixing up Republican white man Kevin McCarthy with other Republican white man Steve Scalise.

“There was progress today, and I look forward to solving it,” McCarthy said, wrapping up his statement. Trump responded, “Thank you, Steve.” Then he points to actual Steve to speak and says “Steve, please.”

Which prompts the inevitable question: Does Trump think every white man is named Steve? Does he look in the mirror while brushing his teeth at night and say “thank you, Steve”? Does he ignore calls from his sons who are saved in his phone as Steve and Steve Jr.? Is Trump just so, fucking, grateful, for, his Steves?
