But he isn’t delivering on his promise to make their lives better. He claims to be but he isn’t. Farmers especially are hurting.

I seem to recall the last president had this incessant blowhard demanding he prove he was a natural-born citizen — which might be hard to remember since it was so long ago, except you were that blowhard. Thank you for playing.

I will never tire of this.

Go, Plucky.

Those farmers knew damn well that victmising immigrant workers wouldn’t make their lives better. They still went ahead and voted for him. I live in ID, which is full of Trumpanzee farmers struggling to find workers, but they will still vote for him. Like these fools.

Not even remotely close.

Trump is well on his way to being known as the worst ā€œpresidentā€ America has ever had, . . . . as well as being our most obnoxious crybaby.

Donnie doesn’t DO ā€˜nuance’…or HISTORY for that matter.

Aren’t there any anvil icons?

Yes, would have been a nice addition, included a few that were overlooked and that you have to use your imagination (the readily available TPM emojis are limited to say the least):

:scissors: :apple: :fire: :crocodile:

I absolutely love the alligator/crocodile (whichever)!

Lincoln spent his summers at the Soldiers’ Home in Washington. DC, that is. And there’s no golf course there, either.

Poet Walt Whitman, who was living on Vermont Avenue near the White House in 1863, often saw the president riding to or from Soldiers’ Home. He wrote in The New York Times, ā€œMr. LINCOLN generally rides a good-sized easy-going gray horse, is dressed in plain black, somewhat rusty and dusty; wears a black stiff hat, and looks about as ordinary in attire, &c., as the commonest man…I saw very plainly the President’s dark brown face, with the deep cut lines, the eyes, &c., always to me with a deep latent sadness in the expression.ā€ Whitman quoted this article in his 1876 book Memoranda During the War, adding the phrase: ā€œWe have got so that we always exchange bows, and very cordial ones.ā€

Uh – you do know that 7 score is 140, right?

no, I’m nearly inumerate - let’s just chalk it up to a natural mistake that 45* would make as part of this parody shall we?

FIFY. :slight_smile:

ā€œNo politician in history — and I say this with great surety — has been treated worse or more unfairly [than me]ā€ - Donald J. Trump, 17 May 2017.

And all his spawn as well, while she’s at it.

Immigration fraud is a thing; it’s been applied to people who were discovered to be former Nazi camp guards.

Yes. All part of the empire. Make them all go away.
