Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 14, 2011
Transcript:
Donald Trump: Lots of people - jealous loser, mostly - are accusing me of using the Trump Debate to promote my latest book, which is flying out of stores, flying! In it, I reveal exclusively to readers that I'm currently worth $7 billion, including my brand value, which I've assessed at $3 billion! Roland: Seriously, Mr. Trump? Your brand value is $3 billion? Trump: Yes. What's yours? Roland: I put it at $750 million. Nowhere near your league, sir!

I think Iâll come back to this strip on Sunday. The Donald is The Boring.

The Donald and The Roland form a mutual âself abuseâ society of two.
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
Two megalomaniacopsychotics together in the same strip! Again, the genius of Trudeau shines through.
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
Well, on second thought, the fact that The Roland IS humble enough to admit that The Donaldâs âself assessedâ âbrand valueâ IS four times greater than his own says something for the man in pockets, buttons, straps and buckles. Not much, though, I must admit.

Iâd put Rolandâs value at $0.75, and I might be generous at that.

$750 million â that must be one buck for each tweet.

Yesterday, DylanThomas3.14159 asked: âDoes your comment presuppose, AKHenderson, that youâre a conservative whoâs fallen out on The Donald?â.Dude, I was never a fan of his. i was mocking GTâs series a few months back that cast Trump as a rising star in the Tea Party, all because he said one or two things the Tea Party happened to agree with.

Trumpâs a hump. The only proper attention paid him is mockery.
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
Babygirl! As the Fonze would say, âAAAAAy!â Youâre siding with narcissistic The Jeff over narcissistic The Donald. Good choice, says I. DT3.1415926535897932383049025216

 Yeah, but The Donaldâs initials donât include the endless Ï . . .

Trump used to be known as âThe ego that ate Manhattan.â Now he wants the whole country for dessert. Iâm finding it a dull DB week â how about another Duke resurrection? In todayâs world he should have more work than he can handle.

Trudeau has the Donald pegged for the blowhard that he is. Yea Gods, what a waste of space this bambastic boob is.

Letâs see if I understand this properly: If I were to pay Donald Trump three billion dollars I could then erase his name from everything associated with it and require him to permanently remove himself from public spectacle? Naww . . . as tempting as it might be, The Donaldâs brand value isnât that much.`Also, Trump is worth $7 billion? Who says? I strongly suspect that if you took an assessment of Trumpâs alleged wealth, a good percentage of the readers of âDoonesburyâ may well have a greater net worth (assets minus liabilities) than Donald Trump. The real financial difference between Donald Trump and a good percentage of the readers of âDoonesburyâ is Trump has a much better cash flow.

I guess that the Donald and some un-named but now-skeweredmedia typesâŠare on equal, more or less, value-schemes. Self-imposed, and worth nothing to anybody else.
Except as objects of risibility. The hand that grasps the microphone never approaches truthâŠ

Coming from any other character, I would derive Rolandâs response to Trumpâs inquiry about Rolandâs âbrand valueâ as an example of sarcasm. However, from Roland Iâm inclined to believe he takes his response as simply a statement of fact.

On May 1 Trumpâs clown program was interrupted for the announcement that Osama bin Laden had been killed by US Navy Seals. One man is Commander-in-Chief, the other is a freak show on NBC.

This DT arc shows Trudeau at his worst. He tried to time these strips but events overtook Doonesbury and made DTâs debate as irrelevant as Red Rascalâs War.Iâm sure Iâm not the only reader disappointed to watch Doonesbury lose its anchor in reality. Unless youâre a chameleon like Jeff and his admirers, itâs hard to live on this airy diet of political fiction and Pi-in-the-sky bloviatings.

Dang Susan, youâre right. You donât think (D)onald (T)rump is using North Korean techniques to subliminaly brainwash us with 15,000 comments since July 2011, in order to increase âbrand worthâ do you?
Spaghettus1 about 13 years ago
Evidence? Even a single example of this âjumpingâ?
Heâs been president for 3 years now. Both his first and last name are relatively unique. We all recognize him by either. The only reason for listing both names is so you can include the âHâ. âHe must be anti-American with a name like âHusseinâ, right?â
edcrimmins about 13 years ago
I LOVE Roland.

So, you admire Trump because his fake campaign was based on a fake issue? The fact that states like Arizona and Louisiana were attempting to pass laws requiring Presidential candidates to submit long form birth certificates- laws motivated solely by hatred for Obama- was the main reason for the President requesting the Hawaiian officials to make the original certificate available. Those states stopped attempting to pass those laws once the long form certificate was presented. Apparently, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich can show with notes from their mothers. The fact that you believe that Trump deserves credit for the resolution to the certificate witch hunt makes me seriously doubt the accuracy of your user ID.

If youâre talking birther, Iâm outta here. I like logical arguments about our country and our government and how they can be improved, not fringe-element mud-slinging.
