Yep. The puzzle is “How the _fuck_ is that orange clown included with real presidents?”

Dubya looks real giddy not to be The Dumb One any more !  
EDIT : I also love the fact that while everybody is smiling or laughing whole-heartedly, Trump has that awkward half-smirk like he’s either not really understood the joke, or he’s trying to pass for confident while is mind is screaming “WHAT THE HELL AM I DOIIIIING ?!!”

The liar-in-chief said back in July that he’d donate a million bucks to the charity of Elizabeth Warren’s choice if a DNA test proved she’s an Indian. She has done so, the test shows native American ancestry, and he denies he said it.

Trump’s got a long history of promising donations and then either not making them, or donating less than he said he would.

In the painting, is Trump holding something in his left hand? Or is he partly turned in his chair, and that’s the edge of the backrest?

There are Democratic versions of the painting, too, BTW:

The poker one is interesting, albeit awful. IIRC, Truman was an avid and very good poker player. ISTR a story about Truman and Churchill taking a train to Missouri, where Churchill would deliver his Iron Curtain speech, and the two men passing the time with booze-fueled poker showdowns. Anyway, fine poker player he may have been, but Jackson is sitting there with a gun and a short temper, so I’m guessing he came away the winner.

ETA: Kennedy is sitting out the hand because it’s not strip poker. Johnson is waiting for a literal dick-measuring contest to start.

I can see his point too – it was, “I’m going to bullshit her while I troll and make myself like a big man with a million dollar offer but when push comes to shove I ain’t gonna do shit.”

I think he’s probably had that made into rubber stamp.

[This story](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/andrewkaczynski/donald-trump-thinks-men-who-change-diapers-are-acting-like-t) is from April 2016, and quotes stuff Trump said back in 2005, but I missed it at the time on both counts:

> [@](#):
>
> “Do you actually change diapers?” host Anthony Cumia asked Donald Trump on the Opie and Anthony show in November 2005.
> 
> The then-59-year-old businessman, whose wife Melania was pregnant with his fifth child and her first, responded bluntly: “No, I don’t do that.”
> 
> “There’s a lot of women out there that demand that the husband act like the wife, and you know, there’s a lot of husbands that listen to that,” Trump added. “So you know, they go for it.”

As one person said at the time in comments, “Donald Trump and babies’ diapers have one thing in common, they’re both full of shit.”

Speaking as a father, Trump can go fuck himself, preferably with rusty farm implements. Like a combine, maybe.

I would prefer that he use an old rototiller, like [this one](https://i0.wp.com/astrogypsies.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/farmimplementsign.jpg?ssl=1).

Nixon, Reagan, and the Bushes erased, yet they left Coolidge in.

I despise Silent Cal as much as the next guy, but that seems like unnecessarily harsh treatment.

If he was unhappy, he should have said something.
