Aye; I seem to be missing, oh, all of the context.

Just a guess:

Junior is threatening Amash that he will feel the might and fury of Trump’s endorsement of Amash’s primary rival.

Amash responds with Junior’s own words: his response to the offer of Russian “dirt” on Hillary.

I know this is a super trivial thing to get upset about, but I really like the current Air Force One colors. It’s instantly recognizable, and it’s attractive. I live near LAX, so I’ve seen Air Force One on the tarmac several times. It’s cool to spot it. Trump’s “re-design” is so generic, it’ll just blend in with the herd.

P.S. Love Justin Amash’s tweet, too. Poor dumb Junior.

That’s…pretty brilliiant. Do you mind if I post it on Facebook? I’ll offer attribution to any who request it.

—our selfless Grifter-in-Chief

You just know he’s arranged this project so that cash will end up in his own pocket.

It’s best to keep him busy with pointless BS. Otherwise he might try to get involved with running the country.

You mean Trump could sell a model of his wonderful new Air Force One?

I wouldn’t put it past him. And though it’s apparently changed hands a few times, the Franklin Mint _is_ still in business, hawking $150 “Barbie” coins and such. No doubt they’d be happy to work with Donald.

And, yes, stupid as this ‘redesign’ thing is, better he spend happy hours looking at paint samples and fabric swatches, rather than listening to Stephen Miller’s latest idea on torturing little kids.

Can you imagine if Pelosi went on national television and said “Iran, if your listening, I hope you find Trump’s tax returns, I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Hillary Clinton already asked China for them:

In fact, Bill Maher complained, pointing out that he made the same request of China a year ago. He said she was stealing his act.

How about a line of action figures? Eric and DJTJ, Ivanka and Jared, Bannon, and the much sought-after (and soon to be nigh unobtainable) Spicer/Scaramucci/Huckabee-Sanders set (individually numbered with a certificate of authenticity; comes in a velveteen-lined pleather box suitable for display; this limited edition run of 46 million can be yours for five easy payments of $39.95 plus 14.95 S&H; allow up to eight weeks for delivery).
