Tom Toles for March 20, 2017

The Trump train.

When twitterbrain says, “Wing it!” it does not mean the same for him as for thee.

History will prove who did more to destabilize the world – Bush or Trump, but Trump ramping up a bloated military is not a good sign.

Darn it, these are the “interesting times” that subtle curse kept threatening me with.

{Toles is GREAT!! Cleverly insightful into the very Center of wha’s hoppenin’.}

RECONNOITER {a limerick}

We should reconnoiter.

Yes, we certainly {oughta} orter.

Else Trump as our head

gives us plenty to dread.

Trump we should dump; – a nonstarter.

====

N. Korea must be licking its chops.

INEPT {1.60 limericks}

Trump is quite scary, – except

that he and his crew are inept.

They’re not adept,

but instead have schlepped

in applying his stupid precept.

Let’s hope that they can’t

expedite his rant,

so a modicum of sanity is kept.

I think it was Winston Churchill who said “America can always be counted on to do what’s right. After they have tried everything else.”

And Trump is proceeding to try everything else all at once!Funny, since the budget was released, the trolls seem to have disappeared! Awaiting new marching orders from Bannon?

Being afraid to compete on a global scale, building walls, and proposing trade restrictions and tariffs are not signs of leadership. Turning the US into a Cuba or North Korea type isolationist nation does not seem like a positive move.

One might almost (not quite) feel sorry for Trump: A slight twist of a line from a cliche 1950s Adolescent in Trouble movie: “Poor Donald! He’s just a kid. Just a crazy mixed-up kid in a world gone wrong — a world he never made.” Except our Donald is still mixed up, is now president, and IS remaking the world.

Trump is what some yahoos in Ohio wanted, now we are all stuck with the low class vulgarian.

Earth just gave a BOOM, mike drop. (28)

Hmmm. HOW PUNISH THE DONALD? {a rhyme}

Let’s get us Lefties together

to discuss our options whether

Trump we should: {a} Tar and feather, …

or {b} Whup with a whip of leather, …

or {c} Under a ship’s keel tether, …

or {d} Strand in Alaska’s harsh weather

or in stinging-nettle heather, …

or {e} Stand stark nekkid before a jury

of femmes he’s insulted, – with them in full fury.
