I do appreciate that! But my post was intended to represent Trump’s mind. (In other words, the new outrage, in this case calling for the death penalty for people cleared by DNA evidence, is intended to distract us all from Trump’s poll numbers.)

Such a horrible place to visit, Trump’s mind…I guess I’ll take that cup of herb tea after all.🙂

Oh sorry. I thought your head was exploding. Ogod, getting inside his head. I remember the first time I ever made a jack o’lantern. The inside of that pumpkin was one of the scariest things I’d ever seen. I was afraid to stick my hand in there, even with a knife. A mostly hollow space but with those slimy strands hanging down and all those seeds. Actually, that’s probably exactly what the inside of the Orange One’s head is like. Ewwwww.

Here’s what I posted in the “reactions” section of the Yahoo! article:

> Well, what do you know? Trump got another one right. People are on both sides of this case. On one side (that of truth and justice) are those that recognize truth and know the evidence, thus realizing that the “Central Park 5” are absolutely innocent of this crime. On the other side, are irrational bigots like Trump.

You come up with the best posts. The worst images (heave) but the best posts.

On rethinking, someone with more punkin carving skills than I needs to carve one with Donnie’s visage and take a photo with the lid off, peering into the as yet unexcavated interior.

Not exactly what you suggested (great idea, BTW!), but some pretty scary [punkins](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&tbm=isch&q=trump+halloween+jack+o%27lanterns&chips=q:trump+halloween+jack+o+lanterns,online_chips:trumpkin&usg=AI4_-kSG_tf-ZlWlMZibENk4B2s6kpdFTQ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwji44DprvjiAhUDP60KHSmKC88Q4lYILSgC&biw=1362&bih=766&dpr=2.22)anyway.

I hate to criticize one of my favorite posters, but I think you’ve missed the mark here. This sounds more like Reagan as described in Garry Trudeau’s seminal work “In Search of Reagan’s Brain.” I imagine Trump’s brain is more like what was described in “Being John Malkovich” - the only image in his brain is his own, the only word in his brain is his name. Both analogies are frightening, but only one describes the egotistical feedback loop that is Trump.

The “drone” that all the warmongers are trying to get us mad about that Iran shot down (perhaps in international air, perhaps over Iranian territory) is actually a 737-sized unmanned spy plane.

> The Navy now possesses as few as three of the high-flying, 737-size BAMS-D drones, which can theoretically watch over the Persian Gulf around the clock.
