I can’t find a picture, sadly, but the more appropriate paint scheme is the one used in the film _Get Crazy!_, where the British rock superstar Reggie Wanker (played by Macolm McDowell) had a private jet painted phallic pink and had WANKER painted on the wings. trump can use that, but it can’t say TRUMP, it still has to say WANKER. ---

Better: Trump is convicted of money-laundering, selling state secrets, taking bribes, obstruction of justice, and conspiring with a foreign adversary to disrupt US elections. He’s sentenced to life imprisonment, and is duly incarcerated in an 8’ x 8’ cell. And Ryan, McConnell, Hannity, Giuliani, and Dershowitz _ **are sentenced to share it with him.** _ ---

This is yesterday’s new, but you saw the bit about John Kelly being disappointed at the food choices at the NATO breakfast meeting. > **[John Kelly 'displeased' at NATO meeting because it lacked a 'full breakfast,'...](https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/john-kelly-displeased-at-nato-meeting-because-it-lacked-a-full-breakfast-white-house-says)** > > At a NATO breakfast event Wednesday in which President Trump was critical of Germany, White House chief of staff John Kelly was "displeased," but not because of the discussion, according to the White House. And I selected this link even though I’m not crazy about the source, because it also had a Trump quote about the breakfast. Something snarky about excellent orange juice and toast that the US paid for. I’m posting this now because I just had one of those “I don’t know it for a fact, I just know it’s true” flashes of insight. They were disappointed in the breakfast food because they were expecting waffles. Because Belgium. And they’re stupid. And I bet Trump was even planning to compare the waffles to the Belgian waffles at the Trump Tower restaurant. But…no waffles. And when you’re expecting waffles and there are no waffles you get cranky. So he went on a tirade about Russia and Germany. ---
