    “Not now!”, screamed Trump as he greedily shoveled full handfuls of lukewarm fries 🍟 into his weird little mouth, then he proceeded to lean backwards under the ice cream machine with an open mouth and pull the handle with his greasy little hand 🤚

    But alas… it was broken 😞

      As we all know, of course, a Trump “handful“ is just two or three fries. It’s freaky how tiny his hands are in proportion to the rest of his body.

          Literally everything about that guy is extremely weird. As a New Yorker, we’ve been familiar with his asshole since the 80s. He was always horrible, but he has steadily gotten worse over the decades.

            It’s the anal leakage, isn’t it.

      the giants won by kicking an oblong ball made of pig skin through a large “H”. It was a most ripping victory.

      His expression looks like a 17 year old’s first day on the job trying to figure out what everything is and does. Except he’s a weird and tired 78 (almost 80) year old.

    “I absolutely support paying a minimum wage.”

    “No, raising the minimum wage.”

    “What, higher?”

    Imagine if Democrats had increased the national minimum wage and could draw a strong contrast here.

    Oh well.

      They put forward a bill like every year. Republicans vote against it.

            Blue MAGA. Can’t call out Democrats for not delivering. They’d rather blame the voters for not voting for them instead of politicians for not delivering (stuff like the $15 minimum wage, codifying Roe vs Wade when they had a filibuster proof majority, the public option, …).

    Because Trump does not care about the needs of the working class. They are a means to an end for him.
