Do we have to pay him royalties for using those words or are are his really GREAT lawyers going to sue us for trademark infringement?

Call someone a Trump sometime.

Is “meh” a winning word?
furnoir over 8 years ago
this obsessing over Trump is past boring. There must be something else going on in the world for this strip to feature. Like, celebrities who won’t perform in states where men can stalk women in bathrooms, but will perform in countries that execute homosexuals and mutilate their women.

He keeps saying he’ll act presidential later. Yeah, right.

No one insults you without your permission. Insults and lying are proof of someone who is being controlled by ego deception.Listen to what Deepak Chopra says about our worst enemy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7xqpVnE3UUDonald and Hillary, as poarities of the same sickness, can’t get this until they take back their souls from their ego.

Doesn’t Trudeau have anything better to do than write political satire in a comic strip intended for political satire?

“…everything you say bounds of me and sticks onto you! Nyah nyah Nyah!……

“everything you say bounces off me and sticks onto you”….Haven’t had my coffee yet.

Or you can be a stupid cartoonist who slanders and pretends it is someone else.
avarner over 8 years ago
Cartoonists in general, seem to hate anyone that shows any sign of having a backbone.
Been that way as long as I can remember.
cgrantt57 Premium Member over 8 years ago
@avarner,
Cartoonists don’t necessarily hate people with backbones.
However, it seems the only backbone Der Trumper has going for him is his ability to “tell it like it is.”
Well, I must say, my drunk uncle also “tells it like it is,” but I wouldn’t want him in the White House, either.

As john Oliver noted, Drumpf has become like that mysterious mole on your back, it has grown bigger and uglier, and it is now impossible to ignore.

He’s still a better choice than Hillary.
montessoriteacher over 8 years ago
Drumpf is a complete joke. He is not qualified to be prez in any sense of the word. To say that he is a better choice than Hillary is a completely ridiculous statement. Hillary Clinton is as qualified as anyone has ever been. The latest bizarre thing we have heard this week about Drumpf is that he had a pyramid scheme. Think about just that alone! Ever had a bunch of $ taken from you from a pyramid scheme? It is incredible to think that even a few people have fallen for Drumpf.

The only thing better than Donald to date will be at the convention after he doesn’t get the nomination.
Adiraiju over 8 years ago
As I recall, my vocabulary at that age was far more crude and repetitive than even Trump’s. Couldn’t use most of it around adults, though.
montessoriteacher over 8 years ago
In terms of the only person I would consider voting for other than Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, I don’t believe he is electable, despite the fact he has won many Democratic primaries/caucuses. It is one thing to win a Democratic primary, quite another to win a general election. Sanders has not been vetted the way that Hillary has. Also, there is that label of Socialist, which many Americans are not ready to swallow. There is no reason to drive ourselves off a cliff.
JeNagVaz over 8 years ago
And today’s insult…“Twisted Hilary”
kaffekup over 8 years ago
I was scared for a moment that he had missed my favorite, “disgusting”, but then I finally found it! Now I can relax that the Chosen One has not been slighted yet again.

It’s an open question whether Trump should be in prison next to Bernie Madoff or in Arkham Asylum next to the Joker……….
Godfreydaniel over 8 years ago
@carrman510As conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg correctly points out, "Trump’s most important critics are overwhelmingly conservative. "

Have a look at today’s Non Sequitur if you haven’t already.

I want to thank Mr. Trump for providing the list of words that one should avoid when you respect the person with whom you are speaking.
ED CANTWELL over 8 years ago
Trump seems to be working directly from the Newt Gingrich lexicon. Newt provided a handout for House members of descriptive terms to use against their opponents in elections and on the House floor. Practically introduced “denigration politics” to America. Thanks Newt.

Every things fine.

Trump is philosophical descendant of Newt Gingrich.

“Scree” is talus (or, if you’re unsure about “talus,” the mass of small stones and gravel typically found at the base of a slope or cliff after being eroded from higher up)..A “screed,” on the other hand, is a polemic or contentious harangue, similar to a diatribe..But that’s OK; you still have a place in The Donald’s heart. He loves the poorly educated.
ronald.chironna over 8 years ago
I was no fan of Gingrich, but Trump makes him look like Einstein.

This is actually one of his best campaign messages.

I am no way a fan of Trump and the idea of him in the White House scares me. That being said, I am tired of seeing him here. I am no longer looking forward to Doonesburry Sundays as they are getting monotonous.
montessoriteacher over 8 years ago
The trolls are getting monotonous, but never GT.
montessoriteacher over 8 years ago
Nope. It is actually from a philosopher called Euripides in Ancient Greece.
montessoriteacher over 8 years ago
Since I am a huge fan of doonesbury and GT, I hardly think I qualify as a troll.

LOL— I will never understand why someone who detests liberals would ever read Doonesbury or comment on it! Do yourself a favor, if you are not a liberal, don’t bother! You will only be terribly disappointed.

What low-grade tripe. You can get a list of really classy insults from Shakespeare with a quick internet search.
