Believe it or not, there’s a storied history of presidential blunders that stretch back years and years, all the way to before they could become instant memes — because there was no internet.
Shocking, but true.
These moments were “viral” in that they were everywhere — TV, radio, newspapers — but there was no widespread internet to give them a second life as pure meme bliss, like just about everything that happens in the Trump White House these days.

But President Trump is not a typical president.
On Monday, he traveled to Salt Lake City to sign proclamations that slash two national monuments — Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante — by more than 80 percent and 45 percent, respectively.
