Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 10, 2019

Now, there’s only one way out.

Trump says he makes his decisions from his gut. This is obvious, because he does not have a brain, which is what most people would use.

And after seven-plus decades of junk food, his real gut has worn out and the space where his brain was supposed to be has been repurposed as a gut.

Which is why, with Trump, you can’t tell which end is supposed to be where ideas come out and which end is where, shall we say “fully processed food remains” come out, and why Trump has POOP for brains. It also explains why the con man peddles POOPaganda instead of facts.

Of course, they are so nonsensical that no intelligent person would sucker for them.

But that does leave a lot — too many — stupid, gullible suckers.

Trump: “I love the uneducated.” (Trump has no concept of love. What he means is that he DEPENDS on the uneducated, because they have to be stupid and gullible to sucker for him when they go to vote.

A French fry and not a Big Mac?

As they say, all things must pass.

The first two frames are fiction. I saw neurons and brain matter.

It’s good to remember that Trump’s GUT is where he makes his decisions — because it’s smarter than other people’s brains.

So, it’s not only the site of the shutdown decision, but also the trade wars, tariffs, The Wall, denuclarization of North Korea, secret talks with Putin, and all the massive corruption.

Obviously Trump has never used his brain.

Roland, keep heading a bit further South, and you’ll find Lumpy Hannity’s head…

Trump: Con-Man-Der in Chief

In a normal Universe, it’s survival of the fittest. In the Trumpiverse, it’s survival of the fry!

Only in America would a significant number of people believe that making decisions “from your gut” is a positive trait.

It’s as though they don’t realize that the advantage of being human is that you have a brain to make decisions, and not just a “gut.”

Is this a ‘retread’ of the 80’s strips of ‘Inside Reagan’s brain’?

Hmm. Eerily similar to “Inside Reagan’s Brain,” another GBT storyline from a while back. As I recall, GBT caught a lot of flack for that treatise.

Great toon! Yes, Trump only trusts his gut and it would take a long time to get down and through there, whether we were talking about his brain or his gut. Will we be hearing in a few years that Trump has Alzheimer’s? Seems likely, due to his confused way of speaking and writing, his lack of memory, his extra large belly, and his frequent enjoyment of processed, high-fat foods.

Where did the Democrats plan there part in the shut down?

Interesting that some would bring up the comments made by the Congresswoman from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar. I don’t believe that Omar was aware of the wrong choice trope that she was using in her criticism of Israel and being all about the Benjamins, etc. Omar did apologize for her poor choice of words. It seems interesting that for Republicans, if you are a Democrat you can’t criticize Israel without being accused of being anti-semitic. I know that Israel is important to the US and they are a great country, however, Israel is a country which does make mistakes, just like the US. We can’t march in locked step at all times. If we disagree about something, speaking up is our right and our duty to make our voices heard. I am sure there are many different points of view in Israel itself as well as here. I know many of the Jewish faith and it seems none of them would call themselves zionists.

So it appears that Trump is the ‘Decider’ who really does go with his gut feelings. You know, for a delegater of the highest magnitude, he sure gets the direct blow back of everyone’s decisions. Even if he just talks about them. He is the only guy I know who can make someone elses terrible idea look better by simply saying it is a bad idea. Rare talent, that.

The four look overdressed from what I used to see: no coats at all.

I guess Trudeau is out of new ideas. This is an “In Search of Reagan’s Brain” repeat from the 1980’s with new artwork.

This is not a repeat of Reagan and his brain. It is now Trump and his gut. History rhymes.

Roland dives deep, to get the stories no one else is willing (or able) to get. Imagine the horrors Roland is overcoming.

Butt, the ShORTEST route might be easier

To go where no man has gone before…

At least it’s the northern region.

I recently had a colonoscopy that I chose to experience without anesthesia, so I could drive myself there and back. A great benefit of this approach was that I got to watch on the monitor a live performance of the colonoscope’s video tour. And Garry Trudeau has done an excellent job of recreating what it actually looks like in there!

I knew we should have turned left at Albuquerque.

see, sometimes those gut decisions you make are right, but in this case ….

Yes, this is similar to the journey through Reagan’s brain. Didn’t Trudeau win a prize for those stripes?

Check out Randy Rainbow, He’s in Love video. Hilarious!

They better hope for a bout of Nausea.

Because the only Other way they are getting out is Much Worse.
