Via Aaron Rupar: the current occupant reached back into the history of office supplies today when asserting that the decision to place ICE agents in airline terminals was his:
“That was mine. That was like the paper clip. You know the story of the paper clip? A hundred and eighty-two years ago a man discovered the paper clip.”2026 - 182 = 1844. Wrong. In June 2025 the occupant placed the invention (not discovery) of the paper clip in 1817. Also wrong. And it was in June 2025 that he placed the end of the Civil War in “1869, or whatever.”
