Trump offers his Cabinet a long story about special Sharpies

President Donald Trump turned an otherwise serious Cabinet meeting into a long Sharpie story, arguing that it shows how he saves government money. He interrupted Thursday's talks on Iran, airport security lines, oil prices, and shaky markets to say the White House once used fancy pens that cost $1,000 each. Trump says he asked Sharpie for custom black markers with a gold White House logo that cost $5 each. The Sharpie monologue came after a number of his Cabinet secretaries offered sobering comments about missile strikes, Tehran’s uranium enrichment efforts and the troops that remain in harm’s way in the Middle East.
