If Trump had been drunk at the keyboard after midnight, the slip would be explainable. The scary thing is, he's a teetotaler.
The scandal isn't that Trump dropped his phone. We've all done it. The scandal isn't even that he dropped it down the khazi. Better men than he have done that, as well.
No, the scandal is that Spicer felt the need to explain it, and what's worse, to think up a conspiracy on the spot to cover up the fact that the FLOATUS is a clumsy SOB. If it'd been merely that simple fact, there wouldn't have been a scandal. There'd have been a lot of Reddit, Tumblr and 4Chan sniggering, and nothing worse at all.
It's Spicer who made it worse. Spicer, and no-one else. He turned it from a minor gaffe into a full-blown conspiracy-theoriy blunder.
