As Is

 

This former president was once compared to a "used car salesman."


This current (as well as former) president has been compared to the president who I just told you was once compared to a used car salesman.

But it's an unfair comparison.


As you can see, he's really a NEW car salesman.

Either way, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware.)

    1. Mitchell, I'm both an optimist and a pessimistic on thar score. I'm optimistic that Trump will eventually get his comeuppance, pessimistic that it won't happen until the country is a burnt-up piece of rubble.

  2. It is pity the population wasn't caveat emptor when it voted. I can't say the car looks very presidential, but I read it will be for staff to drive.

    2. Ananka, this just in from Scotland:

      "Activists with the United Kingdom-based group Palestine Action said they targeted Mr. Trump's Turnberry golf course and hotel in southwest Scotland overnight, painting 'Gaza Is Not For Sale' in giant letters on the lawn. They also vandalized the clubhouse's exterior wall with red spray paint.

      "The group said it 'rejects Donald Trump's treatment of Gaza as though it were his property to dispose of as he likes.'

      'To make that clear, we have shown him that his own property is not safe from acts of resistance,' it said in a statement.

      REPORTER: What about the president's plan to expel Palestinians out of Gaza?TRUMP: Nobody is expelling any Palestinians. Who are you with?REPORTER: I'm with Voice of America, sir.TRUMP: Oh, no wonder.

  4. Just when you think he can't do anything more crazy. I'm sure we have crazier yet to come.

    1. Mike, is it true Daffy Duck and Trump have never been photographed together?

  5. Interesting take! It's funny how comparisons like these can shape our view of leaders, but I agree that the "used car salesman" comparison is a bit unfair. The "new car salesman" angle adds an interesting twist, though!

    I just shared a new post you are invited to read: https://www.melodyjacob.com/
    Have a lovely Thursday.
