Tom Toles for September 30, 2020

Better run faster, Carnage. There will soon be a mob of collectors coming after you. Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Surely if he’s trying to move fast, he’d need motorized assistance. I mean the guy can’t even walk safely down a ramp. I guess he can  still swing a golf club.

There is nothing that can dissuade his supporters — it’s not the man, but the trollish effect that he has on the folks his supporters do not like [fear, envy, resentment, etc].

Bankruptcy number six, or is it seven, dead ahead.

I hope the crazy man runs into a wall.

“Russian to the finish line?” Indeed. The guy chasing him is almost certainly a Russian, quite possibly Big Bad Daddy Vladdy Putin himself. And BTW, the Russians are notoriously nasty when it comes to debt collection…

The criminal prosecutors are hot on his heels as well.

The Russian mafia will be wherever he’s running to . . .with a warm cup of tea.

MAGAts Assess the Debate – {4 beats/line}

Do MAGAts think STILL that The Donald is great,

despite his mangling his first debate?

We’d think their enthusings would soon have abated,

as their assessments of Trump they’d recalibrated.

. . . . . . . . . .

This gave me a belly-laugh. Then a bellyache. The thought that he still stays ahead of the debt collectors…

You can’t get blood ( money) from a stone however you can break into little pieces ! There’s a Leg breaker behind the debt collector !

He can’t run AND he can’t hide.

The tone of the Trump Administration has degraded into humorless burlesque. By now, Donald is trying to dance as fast as he can to avoid the Vaudeville “hook.” In fact, he is now running from it on an endlessly scrolling stage. He may soon be politically “tased.”

Having bollixed nearly everything regarding important national and international policy, his troubles with personal finances are finally revealed. Shown is ineptitude that until now was only obliquely assumed.

His desperation shows in increasing erratic behavior as he insults people on every level, from close aides to politicians to doctors to military. (He no longer insults Pope Francis. Well, wait for it: “I was never a fan of this pope.”) But many are answering back, now.

In my imagination, Trump is ready to run away, as Benny Hill did in the ending scene of his comedy shows. I can almost hear the “Yakety Sax” theme as Trump flees his creditors, media critics, former aides, (and barely-dressed women). I imagine even a stand-in for Hill’s sidekick Jackie Wright, the little bald guy who got condescending slaps on the head — is slapping Trump back.

His speeches and rally ramblings seem like unintentional imitations of English music hall parodies — parodies of parodies. I remember previous presidents — Johnson, Nixon Ford, Carter, Bush — whose terms turned from tragedy to farce, some through not much fault of their own. Trump, however has brought this on himself, and well deserves the scorn.

We finally know what Putin has on him, $421 million.

Don’t worry, Trump will just declare Bankruptcy and the debt collector won’t be able to collect anything. It’s his go-to escape routine.

So will his lifetime secret service protection be assigned the jail cells next to his?

If he wins a 2nd term, will the White House switchboard be trained to turn away bill collectors?

If last night was an example of political discourse in modern America, no wonder we’re the laughing stock of the world.

He’s not worried, if he wins the election, he’ll use the entire wealth of the United States to pay off those debts. (Wait, the U.S. is in debt $27 trillion? Eh, what’s another billion or so.)

Gonna trip on his tie.

Remember, do not feed the trumpfluffing guy(s) here. Reply in the comments.

People shouldn’t forget the $500m bribe the Chinese govt gave him in 2018. There isn’t really any foreign power the Oompaloompenfurher won’t sell us out to.

Trump is not a billionaire, he just plays one on TV.

His golf clubs lose hundreds of millions every year.

Trump has more debts than assets, when they collect the $400 million, what part of the USA will Trump give them?

As with his policies he never knows where it will land, so his “caddies” move it make him look better.

“There’s only one thing that could make that old fat guy RUN!”

Da!

He STILL Has Fans{!!} – {4-4-3 beats}

How could a prez conduct himself so,

and STILL have viewers who STILL bestow

their supportive cheers and applause?

How could their faces STILL be aglow? -

- Wouldn’t you think that such a show

would surely have given them pause?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

For better or worse the swamp toad is still a billionaire. He could sell properties to pay down the $421B debt. https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-donald-trump-new-york-san-francisco-archive-4475833ffad7162a460374f695786f27

Have you seen his swing? It would be more suited to chopping weeds than hitting a golf ball. Trump claims a handicap of 4 which means that obese, unathletic Trump averages 4 shots over par. Meanwhile, he has never displayed a scorecard and, as recently as April 19, claims a score of 68. Any golfer voting for this man should be ashamed of themselves.

Pul-leased!!Trump hasn’t run since he was a light-hitting highschooler with delusions of grandeur.
