She’d ask him to prove he has $1 million.

Or ask him to prove his [Swedish heritage](https://nordic.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-told-the-world-he-was-of-swedish-ancestry---but-its-a-lie-2016-8/).

Thus continuing the Trump tradition of accusing others of things he has done himself.

Just because he can prove he has it doesn’t mean he’ll pay up. Cash before test.

For me the more significant part of that idiotic and tired ‘Pocahontas’ rant was this bit:

>
> “I’m going to get one of those little (DNA) kits, and in the middle of the debate when she proclaims that she’s of Indian heritage, because her mother says she has high cheekbones,” Trump said. “We will take that little kit and … we have to do it gently because we’re in the ‘MeToo’ generation so we have to be very gentle.”
> 
> “And we will very gently take that kit, and we will slowly toss it,” Trump continued. “Hoping it doesn’t hit her and injure her arm. Even though it only weighs probably two ounces.”

Way to court the female vote, Donald.

If he were to do that, it might have scientific value, we would know if the human colon is flexible enough to accommodate such an object.

The ones who chant his name, nothing he says will lose them at this point. They are people too dumb to realize politics isn’t a sports rivalry and has great implications, yet their votes count the same as those with 2+ working brain cells.

I predict a significant loss of elasticity from decades of petrified Big Macs.

I’d be impressed if the DNA test proves he’s _human_.

So trump and putin are going to meet in Finland. How popular they are, let’s see:

That’s actually pretty generous because according to the original five option pie charts:  
[trump](https://seura.fi/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/gallup-trump.jpg). ( green; very positive, red; very negative, yellow; neither. Everybody on left, women on right )

[putin](https://seura.fi/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/gallup-putin.jpg).

The Toddler Trump balloon is quite tame compared to other effigies of his Tremendousness I’ve seen. I think there was a float from some german carnival showing Donald being sodomized by a smug looking bear!

_Of course_ [Trump tries to take credit](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1015947163292008451) for the rescue operation in Thailand:

> [@Donald Trump](#):

> The U.S. is working very closely with the Government of Thailand to help get all of the children out of the cave and to safety. Very brave and talented people!

This is the first that I have heard that the U.S. government was involved; why am I 99.99% sure that what my president said was a lie? Well, because 99.99% of all things he says are lies, that’s why.

There’s one of the many Trump ninots seen in this year’s fallas in Valencia that the photographer for[The Express](https://www.express.co.uk/pictures/pics/11697/Fallas-Festival-Valencia-Spain-Donald-Trump-Fire-Burn-Pictures) really liked. Several of them involved building walls or Trump’s Russian BFF; [this one](https://www.istockphoto.com/mx/foto/las-fallas-falla-en-eixample-2018-donald-trump-vladimir-putin-y-kim-jong-un-figuras-gm935326822-255952370) includes Kim as the third musketeer (I do hope the doll-makers apologized to Dumas Sr.).

I’m pretty sure that is because the TV has been reporting “Navy SEALs” being involved in the rescue, and _of course_ he didn’t bother to ask if, maybe, another nation might have “Navy SEALs”. Like Thailand does.

According to an article I read today about the completed rescue of the first four kids, Thailand has been accepting the assistance of foreigners in the rescue team, including some from the U.S. military.
