As often as Trump has his head up his butt, he really should always be shown with a halo, a brown one.

I don’t see the problem. It’s a fine likeness of Lindsay Graham.

I know. I have been getting at my suckmydickdonnie email address pleas from all three of his political children pleas to sign his birthday card all week. All I have to do to validate the signature, whatever the hell that means, is also send $47.

In the “too bizarre to be fiction” category:  
Trump has identified a new enemy among all of those trying to bring him down. He’s now decided to include **mutants** among his foes:

Interesting, the _Misfits of Science_ were essentially mutants. Maybe he was watching the show on VHS in Bedminster and decided to rant about them too.

I mean, Herschel Walker pretty much did the same thing, ranting about werewolves and vampires.

Given this admission,  
“It’s amazing how strongly people feel about that. I talk about cutting taxes, people go like that, I talk about transgender everybody goes crazy. Five years ago you didn’t know what the hell it was”  
I’ve got a pretty good guess who the mutants are in this dog- ~~whistle~~ klaxon.

Yeah, I’m not baffled at all by this. It’s unclear whether Trump’s cultists will immediately make the intended connection, but it’s obvious to me that in Trump’s mind this is another hostile reference to gender nonconformists. Fingers crossed it doesn’t catch on.
