What was said
"Reporting last week that Trump's literally going around— I guess it's in Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's new book, Regime Change, but Trump literally has, like, is it a glue gun? It's some kind of Gorilla Glue or Krazy Glue that he's, like, lit— using it to apply, I guess, more gold objects to the mantelpieces and the walls of the White House."
According to reporting from Haberman and Swan's new book cited in the episode, Trump is personally using adhesive to attach coins and gold memorabilia to White House walls and mantelpieces. Richardson noted this should astound Americans as it represents unprecedented presidential behavior focused on personal branding rather than governance.
