Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 17, 2020

I guess “super duper missile” was on that Best Words list Friday.

OMG this is too close for comfort. Super Duper Missile coming next. Trudeau, failing fake comic has this bigly.

I suppose it has been noted before, but Trudeau has such little esteem for Trump that he doesn’t bother to represent Trump symbolically, as he did Trump’s predecessors.

This strip isn’t much of an exaggeration. The man makes Bush II seem articulate.

Is Trump’s assistant the former dictator of Berzerkistan?

We lost him when the best name they could come up with was Space Force.

Is that senile old coot still in office?

I long for the days of intelligent American politicians, like Dan Quayle.

 World Records in Ball Dropping

2001-08-06 • Presidential Daily Brief: “Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US” • Bush did nothing.

2001-09-11 • 5 weeks after PDB • 9/11 attacks • Death toll: 2,977

2020-01-07 • Presidential Daily Brief: “Analysts concluded [coronavirus] could be a cataclysmic event.” • Trump did nothing.

2020-03-11 • WHO declared a global pandemic.

2020-04-15 • Trump suspended US funding of WHO.

2020-05-17 • 18 weeks after PDB • US death toll: 90,113

1955-1975 • 20 years (for comparison) • Vietnam War • US deaths: 58,220

One of the reasons His Disciples worship him is that his vocabulary never exceeds theirs.

As others have said, he wrote volumes about Trump long before he was a political figure. I view him as Ron Headrest for the 21st Century.

What’s frightening is that the Trump in those eight panels is more lucid than the actual POTUS.

He knows the best, tremendous, greatest words, bigly. He’s got “a brain!”

Somehow not as ridiculous as the real thing.

Maybe Trudeau could use the theatrical masks back-to-back, constantly spinning back and forth. Maybe add a third one that looks confused – or constipated.

It just occurred to me… Steven Miller DOES look an awful lot like Uncle Duke…and Duke DID work for Hair Furor YEARS ago, as the Captain of the “Trump Princess”…

He’s talking like a “freak show” barker.

Random shots at Trump? Is that the best GBT can come up with these days?

Mebbe Trump needs a reboot. Like, all the way out of office.

Hydrox cookies. That’s the ticket. Well, at least eating Hydrox cookies would be less lethal than Trump’s suggestion to inject Lysol into the human body. Some of Trump’s supporters were trying to put disinfectant in their bodies, with obviously poor results.

His assistant looks curiously like President for Life Bknistijobv (however the H.E.C.K. you spell that…)

“I know words. I have the best words.” —Trump (2016)

Sad.

Don’t forget the swamp.He drained it right into the White House ;(

But doesn’t Trump have the best words?

Why doesn’t his every appearance/ (and his obvious incoherence)/ reduce him to shambles/ as he senselessly rambles/even with his (moronic) adherents ?

As he repeatedly says, he’s a stable genius!

Jackasses are not reputed to be very smart. He’s more like the backside of a horse in a stable…

I must express the utmost respect for the White House press corps; I mean, do you realize what kind of control it takes not to burst into laughter every time that half-wit assures us “I’m a really smart guy”?

Trudeau is a moron. All criticism and no solutions, just like all the other lefties.

His vocabulary only had 105 words before. He had no spare words.

“Step right up, step right up, step right up! Yes, folks, you TOO can step right up, step right up, step right up! (While I think of something to say next….whooops, shouldn’t have said that out loud!) Step right right right right RIGHT up! We have geeks, we have freaks, we have the det…the det…the trite…the….we have the LEFTOVERS of the human race! But ENOUGH about Stephen Miller!”

“I’m” Eric Trump on his dad being unable to hold rallies b/c of a pandemic that has killed nearly 90k Americans: “After Nov. 3, coronavirus will magically all of the sudden go away & disappear & everybody will be able to reopen. [Dems] are trying to deprive him of his greatest asset.”

Sorry, this strip is fake news. It presupposes that he once had a working vocabulary exceeding 100 words. I don’t buy it.

That made absolutely no sense. This strip is definitely over the hill.

The kind of guy the bartender would say, “I’m sorry, sir, but I can’t serve you.” to.

One sad thing is how bad the other guy, Joe Biden is, with vocabulary and sentence construction.

Tyrant Donnie thinks hydroxychloroquine is:

Hydrox: Sandwich cookies

Chlorine: What you put into swimming pools

Quine: What Tyrant Donnie does on Twitter but mispronounces (whine)

Therefore, he thinks he’s eating cookies by the pool while Twittering….

How can a man with no command of his native language expect to have any command of his native country?

Does it really matter? Our president is a semi-functional moron who keeps firing anyone with any brain cells who might help him. He has zero critical skills And only cares that money is pouring into his and his federal grifters pockets.

Can anyone blame him?

I don’t get the last panel. Help? Back-up? huh???

How can anyone have esteem for Trump?

Did Trudeau ever have Obama reading from teleprompters, and getting discombobulated when he didn’t have them?
