—) —) From Trump’s point of view, others have shrunk. But in actuality, he has bloated himself up in self-importance to a size that causes increasing problems with erratic mental and common body functions. (It might be why he has to flush his toilet 10 to 15 times.) It’s what caused the military officer (accidentally enlarged by an atomic blast) in “The Amazing Colossal Man” to go mad and lose control.
It’s the square / cube rule, that states as a shape grows in size, its volume grows faster than its surface area. When applied to the real world this principle has many implications which are important in fields ranging from mechanical engineering to biomechanics. It helps explain phenomena including why large mammals like elephants have a harder time cooling themselves than small ones like mice, and why building taller and taller skyscrapers is increasingly difficult. (See the Wikipedia article.)
Inadvertently, Varvel has represented the cause of increasing problems Trump has with with erratic moods and political decisions. The cartoonist means it as humorous, no doubt, but it is a serious matter.
In the case of Trump, his heart has not increased in size to supply his brain with enough blood to function properly. He probably has concealed the chest pains that inevitably go along with this, but is doing so with increasing difficulty. (Note his smirks and grimaces at his campaign rallies.) And his muscles and bones are under increasing stress. The poor man will soon have concurrent stroke, bone breakage and muscle collapse.
You might remember that doctors tried to help the Colossal Man by injecting sedative into his foot with a ten-foot-long hypodermic syringe.The attempt was ill-advised, as the giant grabbed it and impaled one of the doctors by throwing it like a spear. I suggest that, instead, Trump’s doctors saturate a large piece of chocolate cake and feed it to him. Thus sedated they may stretch him out within the nearest airplane hangar to help him.
Trump himself wouldn’t hold up any better than Bloomberg in facing anybody but Biden from that pack. Neither billionaire is used to being questioned or criticized or confronted on their past.
The only thing he’s ever been capable of shrinking is the size of his heart. And that was a LONG time ago. Oh, and if you can shrink below zero, he’s pretty good at shrinking the amount of money that people who work for him eventually get paid.

No you shrunk the integrity of the former republican party. And many other people.

Varvel has another reality inversion. For all his ACTUAL height ab=nd weight, Trump is a VERY small man.

That’s a funny looking illustration. I disagree with its thesis, but I can’t deny it’s visually amusing.

Oh, is that the meme the RNC wants to put out right now? Must be another Varvel fantasy spurred by that warm, yellow, unsweetened Trump nectar.
