Trump’s ‘You can’t compromise on sanity and common sense’ quote may be the least self-aware thing a person has ever said – 17 frank responses
On Thursday, Donald Trump took time out of his busy schedule of falling asleep in the Oval Office, giving lucrative government contracts to his own children, and rescuing AI-generated women, to post what must be the least self-aware thing a human has ever said. Either that or he’s in a long-running comedy bit and he’s just trolling us.

Never have the words “U wot m8?” been more necessary. The White House boosted the message on Twitter.
“YOU CAN’T COMPROMISE ON SANITY AND COMMON SENSE!”
So true, Mr. President! pic.twitter.com/ui5yZvGjEu

The social media team are either entirely insane themselves, or absolute comic geniuses. I fear it’s the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at the White House right now…. https://t.co/JA6N0q3q8e
