I think he plagiarized his speech.

What do you lose as soon as you claim to have it?

And Lord knows he has reason to be humble.

Stone age Trump.

Hmm. I wonder to whom this could be a not-so-subtle reference?

I thought they had weeks of lead time. This echoes Trump from the 60 Minutes interview of just two nights ago.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen “The Pedestal of Truth”. Back in the Johnny Hart era of this strip, when Peter created it, and got on tell his first few bits of wisdom, he was struck down down by God for telling a lie!

I wonder how big the standard “humility” is.

Well I guess there’s no way to avoid politics this time of a election year, and you can’t hide from it. I keep my political thought to myself. I know who I’m voting for.

I’m the humblest man here and damned proud of it!

You can’t humiliate a humble man.

Politics-101, Chapter One, The Positive Spin.

“Yes, I AM Humble. I AM like a small child, with no preconceptions. I AM always open, and willing to learn. I AM, uh, also very nice. Yes, Mr. Humility, THAT’S what they call me. That’s what YOU can call me, too. I’m not all that particular. I AM Honest, too. Honesty is the best policy…”“Yeah, ‘Mr. Humility’, all right! Let’s just go.”

Trump said this very thing in his 20/20 interview last week.

He’s not a Texan, you can tell that. If he was a Texas, he’d be using “proud” instead of “humble”, and “pride” instead of “humility”. At least that’s what the Austin Lounge Lizards might think. (“Stupid Texas Song”)
