YGTBKM: You can’t say WHAT in the White House?!?

This apparent Memo by President Donald J. Trump is beginning to make its’ way around the Interwebs, causing some of his detractors and opponents no end to surprise and shock.

Memo: Don't Say this Word!

Note while the Document Number appears authentic, and wouldn’t be a public-facing document anyway but instead likely an Internal / Interoffice Memo, there’s no evidence suggesting this document is anything but fake.

So, what do you think?

Is it Fake, or is it another example of President Trump reminding people they should always be professional, respectful, appropriate, and polite when working in The People’s house and for the democratically-elected Leader of the Free World?

Did you know? Apparently, there’s no official document outlining or recommending proper office etiquette when working inside the White House or being on White House property. However, there are guidelines or books on proper etiquette when attending a White House Dinner, being a White House Correspondent, or entertaining Foreign Diplomats. But, apparently, it’s not necessary to bow when meeting the country’s leader, and it’s OK to address the President as “Mr.” rather than “Mr. President”.

Now I’m not saying people shouldn’t speak ill or disparage their boss(es), or come up with perhaps unflattering nicknames for them. After all, one can only imagine the plethora of possible nicknames for Bill / Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, or Kamala Harris one might have used during their stints in the White House.

Just keep such talk discrete, and best to keep it outside of work.

Added Bonus!
When playing Casino Dice – popularly known as “Craps” – once a person throwing the dice has established a number they need to throw again to win (called the “Point“) then throwing a seven before they throw the Point causes nearly all the players to lose all their bets. So, it’s considered impolite and bad luck to say the number “Seven” out loud, while they’re trying to win, even as a spectator.

How bad is it to say “seven” when you’re not supposed to? I’ve actually witnessed players being told to leave the table by the Casino when saying Seven when they really shouldn’t.

Thanks for Reading!
