> [@RTFirefly](#): > > Oh good, I was starting to think I was the only one who picked up on that. To be honest, I wasn’t considering Pepe at all. I just think Trump looks like an amphibian. Have you seen that photo that’s making the rounds lately, a Trump profile featuring about six chins? I’m terrified someone will make it into a _gif_ with all those chins swelling and retracting endlessly, like a big ol’ bullfrog. ---

We can’t let him do it, as he will enjoy sleeping every night in his own little beddie in Trump Tower, flown up at taxpayer expense, solely because fucking up midtown Manhattan traffic will make his tiny wiener stiff enough to stick into Melania. Or his harem of Top Supermodels from Mitteleuropa. A Presidential prerogative not exploited since Chester A. Arthur’s day. ---
