    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.)

    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.

    Not caring is one of the few things Trump is actually good at . . .

    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 . . .

    ”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.

    This particular toon being in black and white is appropriate.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    The headline & subhead from the actual 7/6/20 edition of the Washington Post:

    Trump has a problem with infectious disorders

    There is no vaccine against irresponsibility.

    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.

    Regarding the absence of coloration of today’s cartoon, it was bleached to prevent the spread. . . .

    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.

    “Contracted”?

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

    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.

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