Tom Toles for April 30, 2017

Much lower and it will be below ground!

He’s needed a tunnel for a long time.

He needs to do a self introspection. Won’t happen ever with him.

Shave that bar down to a molecular thickness of material, lay it flat on the ground, and he’ll still end up tripping over it.

LOW EXPECTATIONS – {a rhyme and an image}

Even if we measure by “low expectation”,

Trump’s not worthy of acceptation,

much less any admiration,

certainly not acclamation.

Yet his Base continues their adoration!?!?!!

ODDBALL PRESIDENT – {a limerick and an image}

From the normal Trump deviates;

that’s why we’re in such straits.

What he advocates

so often negates

how a normal mind operates.

FOREBODING - {a rhyme and an image}

Noises of thunder rumble.

Foreboding.

And I hear my tummy grumble.

Foreboding.

And news is that Trumpians bumble.

Foreboding.

I watch my nation fumble

then stumble then tumble then crumble.

I impotently sit and mumble

that Trumpism’s yuugely foreboding.

The Trump crowd likes to shout how the “Liar-In-Chief’s” big accomplishment was the Supreme Court pick. Wrong!! He didn’t even do that. That was all Mitch McConnell and the last Republican Congress that refused to move on President Obama’s legitimate pick. Trump did absolutely nothing in that regard except take what was stolen for him.

The ONLY accomplishment “President” trump’s supporters care about is p*ssing off the ‘libruls’. Everything else is just gravy. THAT’s why his approval ratings are not in the teens.

Whenever I hear about Trump “accomplishing” something, I get a flashback to TORTOISE WINS BY A HARE, with the Rabbit Mafia carrying the disguised Turtle over the finish line while literally hammering Bugs to the ground. The only difference is that they realized their mistake within seconds.

Well, Obama did all of those except building walls and draining the swamp, which is still up to voters.

No one promised more and delivered less than liar Trump who lies about everything all of the time.

Did you notice “Not in Jail, Yet”?

The low bar for president starts with the minimal standards for holding that office. I grew up with naive notion that the political parties would raise that bar significantly.

The Donald himSelf wrote this op-ed piece to brag on his doin’s: – - -https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/president-trump-in-my-first-100-days-i-kept-my-promise-to-americans/2017/04/29/ad1c9574-2cfd-11e7-a616-d7c8a68c1a66_story.html?utm_term=.8b9a9eeb2d2d&wpisrc=nl_rainbow-nonsub&wpmm=1

With an administration in Limbo, the only question is ‘How low can you go?’

The bar was set for Trumplestiltskin RIGHT ON the ground. So what does he do? He breaks out a shovel and starts tunneling.

back to “MA…MI”. A great name for him, your “Trumpelstiltskin”. See Wikipedia for the story line at: – - -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumpelstiltskin – - – FINE is the story’s ending with his going away in a fit of pique.

TRUMPELSTILTSKIN – {a limerick}

There once was a wicked imp

who made his nation limp.

With the brain of a shrimp

and shaped like a blimp,

he twisted us into a crimp.
