I think DJT has watched the old BBC series "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perin" and borrowed the tactic of Reggie's passive aggressive boss C.J.
When summoned was summoned to C.J.'s office and knock the boss would recite:
1-2-3-4 make'm sweat outside the door
5-6-7-8 always pays to make'm wait
9-10 "Come in, Reggie!"
I think today they may be busy doing some “fact checking”. LOL!
Reggie Perrin was one of the best Britcoms ever.
