How about a talking Trump doll, that one pulls the string and it says “NO COLLUSION! NO OBSTRUCTION!”, like, almost every single time. Once every few dozen pulls it would say something different, like “We need to look at the oranges of the investigation.” I think it would be very realistic. ---

Once every few dozen pulls it would say something different, like “We need to look at the oranges of the investigation.” I think it would be very realistic. I don’t know; his fans would love a talking doll (there’s already a bear that sold a lot of units, but I don’t think it talks). But they’d want it to say ‘Make America Great Again’ and ‘God Bless America.’ They wouldn’t tolerate the realistic remarks you suggest. And non-fans of Trump would NOT want a little doll of him in their homes at all, let alone sitting on a shelf looking at them. _shivers_ Now talking-Trump clay shooting targets—that could catch on. Extremely weird side note: not being sure what the technical term might be for the old ‘clay pigeons’ that used to be mentioned as the targets in skeet shooting, I typed ‘skeet shooting’ into Google search. The Wikipedia page starts out: > [@](#): > > Skeet shooting is a recreational and competitive activity where participants, using shotguns, attempt to break clay targets mechanically flung into the air … But the Wikipedia hit on the search-results page has the same…except “shoot dead babies” where “break clay targets” appears on the Wikipedia page. What the eff? Here’s the search page—first hit is the ‘s.d.b.’ one: [https://www.google.com/search?as\_q=&as\_epq=skeet+shooting&as\_oq=&as\_eq=&as\_nlo=&as\_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as\_qdr=all&as\_sitesearch=&as\_occt=any&safe=images&as\_filetype=&as\_rights=](https://www.google.com/search?as_q=&as_epq=skeet+shooting&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&as_rights=) ---

I just got an email from the Trump Victory campaign begging me to volunteer for a week long training session on how to make sure that Individual 1 wins in 2020. Why would they POSSIBLY think I would be interested in that, and what mailing list did they buy that has my name and email address on it? ---

I’m guessing it will be basically _Social-Media Trolling 101_ or something similarly anti-civilization.

Although they do say Abraham Lincoln was treated really badly. I must say that’s the one. If you can believe it, Abraham Lincoln was treated supposedly very badly. But nobody’s been treated badly like me. And this way I can fight the dishonest media, the corrupt media, the fake news. Poor Trump. Always the victim. Yep, he has been treated more badly than Lincoln: “Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?” ---
