Bigotry, animosity towards peaceful protesters, an endless chain of bad public health decisions. Yep!…It’s going to be one giant, smoldering crater come November!
(I hope I’m making a prediction about his campaign and not about the country itself.)
I thought it was FOX NEWS he was coughing at. What were they thinking ? Reporting the TRUTH !! They should be awarded a Pulitzer Prize, The Emmy, The Oscar or whatever . . .
The error here is the word “contracted”. That means he didn’t have it before but picked it up somewhere recently. In fact, he had it all along and is now generously sharing it with the American public.
A note: While I, like most of you, would prefer to see this cartoon in color, Toles’ cartoons are drawn such that they work without it: he’s been doing this since before color printing in newspapers was the norm (except in Sunday “color supplements”). There are other cartoonists (some of them, I assume, are good people) whose work would suffer tremendously if printed as black lines on white (or as grey-scale).
Use this as an opportunity to admire the artistry of his line work. It’s lovely.
Trump claims he is the least racist person in the history of racism. If you talk like a racist and tweet and retweet like a racist, your probably a racist. If not, you might as well be. How do you explain away Charlottesville, Birtherism, Central Park 5, the “beautiful heritage” of the Confederacy?
One hopes Covid 45 will completely wipe out the vicious racist Republican party.
They won’t spend a dollar to keep you alive, they expect you to put your kids back in school and they refuse to do any testing. Anti science Republicans lack any sort of logical connection to reality, they are murderously incompetent.
Remember, like his mobbed-up money-laundering career criminal father, Fred, before him, Li’l Donnie was extremely bad for the United States of America for decades—long before entering politics. (Or, to be more accurate, long before running for political office.) It is impossible for anything to come out of Li’l Donnie’s mouth that is NOT pollution.

Is Tom Toles going black & white on gocomics? I know he uses that format on Twitter!

In Your Face – {4 beats/line}
He’s in your face, // – making his case
that you should embrace // whatever takes place.
“I am mySelf the prevailing wind,
so go along to wherever I send.”
… Coda:
His cult-members think it an act of grace
when The Donald coughs in their worshipful face: -
- Thereby they’re proving // that with Trump they are grooving.

”Hit in Myth”
You’d take an awful dang’rous risk
To meet a mask-less basilisk.
An exhalation from its face
Would certainly kill you in place.
.
Likewise, the spitting cobra snake:
Stand in its path, and it will make
A poison spray right in your eyes,
That burns and blinds, to horrid cries.
.
The banshee makes its chilling wails
Like monsters from grim fairy tales.
The goose bumps raised upon your skin
Show evidence of your chagrin.
.
And Donald Trump is all of those,
Chimeric beast in tailored clothes.
Not like those creatures — gathered so,
On purpose joined, nurtured to grow.
.
A being worse than sum of parts:
Svengali using clever arts
To capture souls and make them prance
In free-for-all “St. Virus” dance.

Today is the half-year anniversary of the alarm going off:
2020-01-07 • Presidential Daily Brief: “Analysts concluded [coronavirus] could be a cataclysmic event.” • Trump did nothing.
2020-07-07 • US death toll: 133,013
For comparison • Korean War (33,686) + Vietnam War (58,220) + Afghan War (7,970): 99,876
Now past • WW1: 116,516
Future targets • WW2 (418,500) • Civil War (~620,000) • Spanish flu (~675,000)

Let’s hope for a 1932 or 1980 style trouncing of the incumbent. We are long overdue.

Aren’t you glad he never worked at a Pizza Hut? I mean he might have done something mean spirited to a customer he didn’t like.

Nope. His campaign has expanded a bad case of bigotry.

I’m sorry, but our insurance doesn’t cover pre-existing conditions. We’re stuck with the bill for him.
