Twitter users mocked President Donald Trump for using a “dumb” visual aid featuring a crane and two pickup trucks as a backdrop for a campaign rally-style speech on deregulation at the White House on Thursday.
Here’s how CBS News’ Mark Knoller described the props: “On South Lawn, WH seeks to make a political point by setting up a crane lifting the weights of regulation from the bed of a ‘red’ truck, while showing the burden of regulations weighing down a ‘blue’ truck.”
Near the end of the event, Trump said of the visual aid: “I don’t know who thought of this idea, but it’s actually quite simple and quite good.”
