Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 12, 2019

25th Amendment? Trump can fix that by suspending the Constitution.

• Oranges (CONfuses his skin color with where he came from).

• Covfefee (a 72-year-old man’s who claims not to drink mind goes blank in the middle of a word, at 12:06 a.m. and does not “recover” until more than six hours later).

• Can’t remember where his father was born (says Germany; father was born in New York)

• Often completely disoriented. Goes into irrational rages and tirades.

• Becomes a willing puppet to this nation’s most vicious hostile foreign adversary, and “falls in love” with another (even saluting the latter’s generals).

• Wants to suppress all access to the documents that prove there is “no collusion; no obstruction” and how rich he is.

Putin wanted chaos in the White House; installed a man with obvious advanced dementia and has bought off enough TrumpubliCON legislators to stay out of his way.

Time for the Twenty-fifth Amendment. STAT!

25th Amendment? Can he count that high? He seems to keep getting tangled up on the first two.

Bonespurs is a definite 25th candidate.

Well, this takes me back. What this “translator” is doing for The Donald now, is what Honey Huan did for Mao back when she was introduced.

Too bad Honey isn’t the “translator”. Remember the bang-up job she did for Chairman Mao?

And my bone spurs are in Mexico.

Non compos mentis.

ABSOLUTELY 100% ACCURATE!!!!

No symbol for Trump and Gary never assigned a symbol to President Obama either. Has he given up on this?

As usual, Trudeau’s take on things is spot on; however, they did not have to find a “translator.” That’s a very rare Trudeau diction error. The correct term is “interpreter.” Here’s the rule of thumb, If it’s oral, it’s interpreted; if it’s written, it’s translated. Other than than, “hear, hear” for Trudeau.

Translation; Trump is the problem, removal is the solution.

I can see why the 25th amendment would make tRump Pence-sive.

Can we get an Amen?

Have you thought about seeing a psychiatrist?

Quick, somebody get the codes away from him.

So, where are the usual trolls this morning?

The book “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump”, wherein 27 mental health experts “explore Trump’s symptoms and potentially relevant diagnoses to find a complex, if also dangerously mad, man” should be required reading. (Well, not for Trump’s base, most of whom struggle with pop-up books.) The book “Everything Trump Touches Dies”, written by a Republican strategist and lifelong conservative, should also be required reading. Obviously, the Mueller Report. What does it all boil down to? Trump is the only person I can think of who would be IMPROVED if he had rabies!

It’s poor form to use an interpreter like that, saying "tell him… " … “he says …”.

By the way, no comments about “Roland Fox” (or “Tim Apple”)? Trump’s sad pathetic need to lie came out then to explain a perfectly normal slip of the tongue, and the two different (and contradictory) lies he told to “explain” things were two of the most ridiculous of ALL his ten thousand and counting lies.

It took me a second, but then I laugh-snorted WAY too hard!

Chaos? I suppose so. Maybe this is what a national earth quake looks like. People wanted to shake things up so they voted for a political outsider. This is what it looks like. Now we know. Can I go home now?

Given all the grief that people have given me, and GW Bush, for how we pronounce “nuclear”…. – Proposal: Split the country up, so that the blue on the coasts and the red in the middle can each do as they please, and not bother the other. This would have the added benefit that the new two nations can’t be a world-spanning intervening empire.

Amazing that a man with so many signs of mental deterioration is so much better equipped to lead our nation than any of the nincompoops who oppose him. The Democrats exhibit infantile inability to face the reality of their 2016 loss. They failed — for years — to recognize the economic threat of China while obsessing over the ancient rival Russia (whom they coddled for decades when it was the USSR). They can only grasp simplistic explanations (racism, hate speech) for complex social/cultural problems. They — like children — scream and rant against things they can’t control — such as the biological differences between men and women. They confuse correlation with causation — and try to solve social problems by changing the outcome instead of addressing the cause. They tend to be cowardly, deceptive and hypocritical — as in fighting charter schools and supporting teachers unions while sending their own kids to private schools (Kennedy-esque). They are notoriously articulate — yes — using rhetoric that masks their true feelings. (e.g. Hillary searching endlessly for her authentic “voice.”) So all in all, I think it’s far better to be led by the transparent, intellectually limited and fiercely patriotic Donald Trump who speaks his mind compulsively and impetuously than by leftists who are childish but articulate demagogues. Democrats these days are flailing away like a pack of six-year-olds running around a dangerous swimming pool in the company of the one adult — Donald Trump — who actually knows how to swim.

Shades of Trevor Noah!

She speaks Alzheimers?
