Tom Toles for November 24, 2017

A Russian kindergartner.

The dumpster ain’t got no class.

Yes, I know it’s a double negative, but so is he.

Dead on, Toles.

Does the party think that people won’t remember this president’s performance?

WHY AIN’T HE SMART? – {rhyme and coda}

A child-like psyche, -

- and yet it’s like he

has found his niche

in the money-grubbing art.

But if Trump is so rich,

why ain’t he smart?

… Coda:

Many a smart dude’s not wealthy,

but a dumbbell CAN be, if stealthy.

=======

And visions of golf rounds danced in his head.

CAN’T BE UNDONE – {limerick}

This Trump-centered era is saddening,

and what’s going on is baddening,

and the damage begun

cannot be undone.

This sit-u-ation is maddening.

=========

{Off-topic of the ’toon:}

NOT a “KEMO SABE” {limerick and a PS}

Zimbabwe’s problems got knobby

while for too long their Bobby Mugabe

dragged his land to the ground

with governance unsound.

He wadn’t no “Kemo Sabe".

… PS:

Nor is Trump a white-horsed hero.

He’s much more like a tyrannical Nero.

======

I’ve known better-behaved kindergarteners.

Isn’t that the No-Class Class?

And the temperament of a toddler, the mouth of a spoiled brat, the caring of a house fly, etc.

Wow, he’s matured some if he’s up to Kindergartener level…

The Republicans appear to be happy with Trump’s destruction of the US government.

We are no longer the leaders of the ‘free world’.

Whatever became of the missing “e” in “kindergartener”? Who first decided it was OK to omit it, and why did that idea ever catch on? I’m starting to see this in words like “fastener” and “softener” as well.

Isn’t Duerte another of his BF’s?

First in his class to be a total a$$#0|e!

Donald John Trump has the mental maturity of a young child, the vocabulary and mannerism of a child – but have you noticed has this habit if constant repetition of short phrases in his “off the cuff” speech? I was a caregiver for my late mother-in-law who suffered and died from Alzheimer’s and this was part of her diagnosis. It’s termed “Palilalia” which is considered an aphasia and is present in some cases of mental degradation! Donnie is unsuited for the presidency on SO MANY LEVELS it’s pathetic, but his clueless followers refuse to acknowledge his faults because he is “so much like them” that they identify with the man – and it’s chilling that such a large part of the electoral base can be that willfully ignorant!

“We don’t care as long as he irritates the liberals”. – the Cons reveling in their Pyrrhic Victory.

Is that a clean coal dreidel?
