The upcoming book Regime Change by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan detailed how White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt walked into the Oval Office to find Trump “clutching a tube of super glue and attempting to affix gold decorations to the marble fireplace mantle.”
SE Cupp, a conservative political commentator, described the episode as “unfathomable” during an appearance on CNN on Thursday.

She admitted that the image of Trump gluing gold decorations onto the Oval Office actually “makes perfect sense.”
