The most powerful man in the world right now, the man charged with leading our country for the next four years, does not understand how a necktie works. Let's go ahead drive this point home a little more: A man who holds the nuclear codes, who can basically unleash WWIII at the blink of an eye, cannot tie a goddamn tie.

See, he has the skinny blade of his tie taped to the back of the fat one. Why? Because he does not understand how ties function. By tying it too long, the skinny end can't reach the loop on the back. So to keep the two pieces from spreading apart, he has to scotch tape them together. Which, fine, whatever. Other than his tie hanging practically to his knees, we'd all be none the wiser.

But then the wind happens.
