Trump worked with Ron Desantis to understate the shark attack numbers. I thought _everybody_ knew that? ---

a) Oh, I definitely am 😉 b) That appendage … that Trump drew on the weather map as Hurricane Dorian bore down on the SE United States? It looked remarkably like a fin. I’m just sayin’… [segue] I also remember an editor at _The Onion –_ after one of Trump’s innumerable shockers – tweeting that “we quit.” They couldn’t satirize or parody and possibly measure up to the truth of TFG. ---

I think Trump is out there hunting the sharks himself. Little known to us dumb liberals, Trump is actually a Crocodile Dundee type figure in disguise. When he was in the White House, at the end of each day, he would take off the fat suit mask and don his leather jacket and grab his 12-in Bowie knife. All that ridiculous unnecessary tweeting he would do was actually somebody else covering for him. Probably an Alfred Pennyworth type. The reason there’s more shark attacks this year is because he’s had to waste his time with all of these damn indictments and trials. See, Biden really does want people to be killed by shark attacks. Q.E.D. ---

I’d heard rumors of _that_ Donald Trump.

Being semi-serious for a moment, it’s a silver-plated turd. Because what people stare at and admire are their own loathsome, worst, most bigoted traits that are reflected back at them. To their endless envy that he can be so open about it and _get away with it_. I guess you could use a bronze or gold mirrored surface, but it’s the silver that highlights the reflection the most. Carry on. 🙂 ---
