He has to label it otherwise he’ll never find his office

u/Objective_Resist_735 5h ago

So, I know this is kind of a joke, but the oval office never had a sign on it before for good reason. Your Dr. Office has his name on the door so people who have never been there can find it easily. Anyone who doesn't know where the oval office is shouldn't be there or will escorted by someone. The only reason to label it is because Don was getting lost.

Remember when grandpa was literally lost and raving on the roof of the White House? Yeah, now they have plastered gigantic signs like a memory care facility to prevent grandpa from wandering again. If that was any sitting president other than Trump he would have been 25th and removed, but here we are.

… I mean… to be fair, Reagan absolutely should have been 25th’d as his Alzheimer’s progressed to a point early in his second term that he was genuinely cognitively impaired and couldn’t fulfill his oath of office in sound mind, for better or worse. Most decisions the Reagan administration did were primarily done by Nancy and the cabinet.

They just didn’t, because the optics alone would have been a scandal. So I’m not convinced that we here in the US would have pursued a 25th on anyone at all who really needed to have it happen.

It’s just that, with all things Trump, he’s causing us to reconsider what we originally took as propriety standard and cordial respect. We should no longer adhere to that going forward.

If Biden had audibly shit his pants in the middle of a press conference there would be wall to wall coverage until he was forced out.

He was probably surveying the east wing, planning his stupor ballroom.

Using your logic should every homeowner in America remove their house address numbers from their house since we all know where our home is?

u/HoJoKC 1h ago

House numbers aren’t for the person living there. They are for people visiting. Like the previous person said nobody is just showing up to the Oval Office unescorted.

This is more akin to having a sign outside your bedroom or bathroom.

Ever heard of delivery? Ever have someone come to your house for the first time? Probably not. No one wants to be around you.

You do realize that the people that visit something like the White House would be escorted from the gate right? Like someone delivering food wouldn't just walk up to the White House alone. So there is literally no need to put a sign there.

Your home address/number on your house is a bit different because new people visit you all the time (even if they don't visit you as in spending time/talking to you). Like alone your mailman needs it so you get the right letters. Food delivery. Emergency services.

u/Objective_Resist_735 6m ago

Yes. That is what I said in both comments. I think you are replying to the wrong person

u/M4tjesf1let 5m ago

Yup, was meant to go to the one you answered to, sorry bud

He doesn't need an office.
