Tom Toles for November 19, 2017

It is difficult to do anything substantive when one is carrying like a schoolyard bully with one’s telephone, twittering the night away.

They were sooo good to him. They treated him like he was some sort of dignitary.

U-TURN THE RED CARPET – {limerick}

The Donald a Red Carpet flatters, …

… but U-turn it when vital matters

are on the table. -

- Trump is unable

to cope {‘cause his brains’re in shatters}.

=======

Likez the red carpetz, he doez.

HIS ACHIEVEMENTS ARE NIL – {1.40 limericks}

The Donald’s ego is fed

when he’s stroked on carpets of red.

Since his brain is dead, -

- he’s readily led

to strut and preen instead

of being a hero

who achieves more than zero.

========

Yup. Lots of showy stuff, compliments, handshakes, and keep him away from the adults.

THE TRUMP TOWER {of BABEL} – {1.40 limericks}

No substantive stuff on the table.

Thus did his hosts enable

the Prez to say

in his clumsy way

the stuff of his “Tower of Babel”: -

- of noisy confusion

in yuuge profusion.

======

Trump is a reflection of his supporters desire to end establishment politics that has not served them well for decades. The parties can change or there will be more like him in the future. I do not believe that congress is heading in a positive direction in the eyes of the trump supporters.

Look! He took Al Gore’s lock box that was meant for social security and locked up any possibility of rational thinking whatsoever from this Whitehouse!

Trump is making China great again!

This Asian trip laid out the script on how to deal with Donny John. Give him what he likes to eat, show him the VIP tour, tell him how great he is, and you can get anything you want from him.

No Trump Disciples claiming that we did too receive substantive stuff and it was huge?

I can say one thing positive out of this trip. A hamburger joint in Japan has gone viral because DJT loves their cheeseburger.

Donald John Trump has essentially given away ‘the farm’ to the Chinese Communists! One of his first act upon assuming the Presidency was to dissolve the T.P.P., thereby giving the Chinese a free pass to step into America’s role – which they did and are STILL doing! They are VERY busy developing new economic partnerships with the countries ‘abandoned’ by Trump. Donnie never ONCE brought up ANY of the complaints that he campaigned on about China – and his faithful minions are desperately attempting to ignore or rationalize his stunning lack of ‘follow-through’ to his promises on the campaign trail. THEY still believe that Donnie is God’s Gift to America – they’re just having trouble coming up with arguments to convince the rest of us.

China is hardly communist now. They have done away with the few positives and just left Capitalist pitfalls.

Yes. China is getting it together as the US is falling apart.

Another great ’toon from Toles!
