Trump Fetches Pope's Hat
2017-01-03
President Trump invited the Pope for lunch on his mega yacht, the Pope accepted and during lunch, a puff of wind blew the Pontiff's hat off, right into the water.

It floated off about 50 feet, then the wind died down and it just floated in place.

The crew and the secret service were scrambling to launch a boat to go get it, when Trump waved them off, saying "Never mind, boys, I'll get it.

Then Donald climbed over the side of the yacht, walked on the water to the hat, picked it up, walked back on the water, climbed onto the yacht, and handed the Pope his hat.

The crew was speechless. The security team and the Pope's entourage were speechless.

No one knew what to say, not even the Pope.

But that afternoon, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN all knew how to cover the story. Their banner headlines read,

"TRUMP CAN'T SWIM!"

#5  USN, Ret -- he didn't know just know where the rocks were, he'd had them built on hydraulics, because landlubbers are forever losing their hats to the wind there. The hydraulics allow the rocks to be stored at the bottom of the sea until he puts his hand on a certain spot in the rail, causing them to rise up to just below the surface. It's the job of the winter boat crew to test them in early spring, and effect any necessary repairs before the start of boating season. ;-)

#3  Had it been retrieved by Obama, he would have promptly put it on his own head.
