Better than blowing germs all over the Twinkies though.

Is it weird that “awkward uncomfortable office banter” is exactly the mood I would have predicted for a Mitt Romney in 2019?
Staffer: Hi boss we got you a cake.
Romney: [forced laugh] That’s all I ever wanted. I will have festivities now. With you all. In a normal human way!

This is actually a much more hygienic method for extinguishing birthday candles than blowing all over food that someone else will eat.
except that he was still blowing all over the cake.
And this is exactly what I’d expect from some rich prick that pretends that he is doing all those cake takers a favor when he is really screwing them over as usual.

I thought twinkies went out of business. Where did he get them? Does he have binders full of twinkies or something?

Yup, that’s about what I expected from a guy whose favorite meat is “hot dog.”

This is the second place I’ve seen this posted. The first time I ignored it because it just seemed like a cheap jab, but this time I took the bait. What the hell is that? Is it a Mormon thing? Has he never been to a birthday party? Is he a germophobe?
Also, dude needs to get some art on those walls. Although I imagine it will involve an eagle, the capitol building, the US flag and some sort of shallow “inspirational” quote so… Benjamin Moore will do just fine.

Paige is thinking outside the Twinkie box.
If it were my design, I would flip them on their backs and put a candle in each frosting hole.

AND, look at all the wishes he gets besides the one.
Work smarter, not harder.
How does Trump do birthday cakes? It… it’s a smash cake like you give a 1 year old, isn’t it?

Ew. Twinkies are gross.
The whole event is discgusting from beginning to end. The only way this could be worse is to put Cheez Whiz as frosting on the cakes.

It’s disturbing. I mean, the guy probably has a store room of crap to hang on walls that he is given every time he meets someone important or signs something. But nothing for his office?
And that desk… is it the first desk ever to have drawers and shelves facing outwards, or is ol’ Mitt sitting at the back of the desk?
Is this even his office, or is this an empty storage room that they use to stage videos? What the hell is happening here?

He’s Mormon. They don’t celebrate birthdays. This is all alien to him and even sacrilegious. He may have never had a birthday cake in his life.
