Tom Toles for April 29, 2018

SAVING TRUMP’S BACON? – {rhyme}

Rudy is somehow to save Donald’s bacon?

Without Giuliani, Trump’s hopes are forsaken?

Rudy’s the hero

protecting his Nero?

Alas for poor Donald, he’s yuugely mistaken: -

- Rudy can’t stop the toll’s being taken.

=========

At this point I am no longer able to accord Giuliani even a soupcon of integrity.

Toleseses’s caricatures are ACCURATE, eh what? – AND his themes’re CLEVERLY RIGHT-ON.

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

HIS TENURE’S EPITAPH – {rhyme}

There once was a Prez whose very own mouth

had dragged his canoe up the creek, – going south

to get stuck in a swamp where he had no paddle.

There he was stranded, – and he tweeted fiddle-faddle, …

… and viewed and talked to Fox News

in ways which tightened the screws

on his tenure’s coffin.

[Trump did this {often} offin.]

{Off the cartoon’s topic:}

KIM UPSTAGES TRUMP – {rhyme}

The Donald had said it

should be to HIS credit,

were the Koreas to achieve a detente.

But now he’s enraged

that Kim has upstaged

with a news-grabbing Southern jaunt.

Trump nonetheless continues to flaunt

the “deal-making” skills he continues to vaunt,

though Kim’s diplomacy continues to haunt

the accolades which Trump continues to want.

========

Giuliani is planning to streamline Trump’s interview as Trump’s willingness to speak has decreased since Cohen’s office was raided. Giuliani however, asserts that Trump will be found completely innocent.

Not only that, Rudy, but don’t forget…YOU’RE NUTS!!

I think that Mueller has a few questions he would like to ask Rudy too.

Mr. Mueller should question Trump at one of Donnie’s rallies. He’s bound to let something slip when he gets wound up.

Rudy is under investigation for being the recipient of FBI leaks about Hillary. Let’s not forget that the FBI was known as “Trumpland” during the campaign.

This way crooked liar Trump and 911 vulture Rudy have attorney client privileged and now can’t be questioned about each other.

Where is Michelle Wolf when you need her.

In a surprise development, we will later learn that Donald barely knew Giuliani, who was pretty much just a coffee boy.

Trump says his Titanic admin can’t be sinking, “Why my end of the ship is 200 feet above water, sinking is fake news.”

Perhaps you’re aware that Time magazine is supposed to name its Person of the Year for a person, a group, an idea, or an object that “for better or for worse … has done the most to influence the events of the year”.

And their bold editors, back in 2001, made the trek a couple of blocks down 5th Avenue so they could interview then-Mayor Giuliani and photograph him atop of one of the tallest buildings left standing in NYC, because he was so obviously the guy who made more difference than anybody else that year. That was my first real wake-up call about how journalism was dying in America.

What is; shows that he is a poor judge of talent.
