    I suppose it has been noted before, but Trudeau has such little esteem for Trump that he doesn’t bother to represent Trump symbolically, as he did Trump’s predecessors.

    This strip isn’t much of an exaggeration. The man makes Bush II seem articulate.

    Is Trump’s assistant the former dictator of Berzerkistan?

    We lost him when the best name they could come up with was Space Force.

    Is that senile old coot still in office?

    I long for the days of intelligent American politicians, like Dan Quayle.

    One of the reasons His Disciples worship him is that his vocabulary never exceeds theirs.

    As others have said, he wrote volumes about Trump long before he was a political figure. I view him as Ron Headrest for the 21st Century.

    What’s frightening is that the Trump in those eight panels is more lucid than the actual POTUS.

    Maybe Trudeau could use the theatrical masks back-to-back, constantly spinning back and forth. Maybe add a third one that looks confused – or constipated.

    Hydrox cookies. That’s the ticket. Well, at least eating Hydrox cookies would be less lethal than Trump’s suggestion to inject Lysol into the human body. Some of Trump’s supporters were trying to put disinfectant in their bodies, with obviously poor results.

    I must express the utmost respect for the White House press corps; I mean, do you realize what kind of control it takes not to burst into laughter every time that half-wit assures us “I’m a really smart guy”?

    “I’m” Eric Trump on his dad being unable to hold rallies b/c of a pandemic that has killed nearly 90k Americans: “After Nov. 3, coronavirus will magically all of the sudden go away & disappear & everybody will be able to reopen. [Dems] are trying to deprive him of his greatest asset.”

    Sorry, this strip is fake news. It presupposes that he once had a working vocabulary exceeding 100 words. I don’t buy it.

    Tyrant Donnie thinks hydroxychloroquine is:

    Hydrox: Sandwich cookies

    Chlorine: What you put into swimming pools

    Quine: What Tyrant Donnie does on Twitter but mispronounces (whine)

    Therefore, he thinks he’s eating cookies by the pool while Twittering….

    Does it really matter? Our president is a semi-functional moron who keeps firing anyone with any brain cells who might help him. He has zero critical skills And only cares that money is pouring into his and his federal grifters pockets.
