Trump is so mentally challenged would confuse a plastic straw for his catheter.

“So you have a little straw, but what about the plates, the wrappers and everything else that are much bigger and they’re made of the same material? So the straws are interesting, everybody focuses on the straws, but there’s a lot of other things to focus on…It’s an interesting question.”

As Trump sucks, the eastern US burns.

Elsewhere, in Washington DC, a hatewave has descended over the Whitehouse.

Trump has said a fairly bewildering slew of things on the issue, recently telling ITV’s Piers Morgan that climate change “changes both ways.”

Alexander Pope:

A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.

NASA (drinking largely, so to speak):

Good thing he didn’t put this in a tweet. Because I’m sure he would have both capitalized and misspelled the word “straw” and looked even dumber than he normally does.

Golf tees and hats and gew-gaws,
Mugs, hamburder wrappers and straws.
He adds yet more plastic
And tweets things so drastic
They break all of society’s laws.

Trump channels his inner Louie Gohmert.

Literally, too, since Gohmert lives up Trump’s ass.

That being said, his campaign straws are being merchandized as an alternative because “liberal paper straws don’t work.”

I’m old enough to remember when paper straws were the only kind around, and they worked just fine. Just don’t try to re-use them, but the plastic ones don’t tend to get re-used anyway.

Hat tip especially for quoting Alexander Pope. He is one of my favorites, and this one is particularly apt.
