Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 19, 2022

If you can’t beat them join them.

I hope the Sabatini’s send the bill for that “free” lunch directly to the Orange Baboon!!

Remember, Trump came to Duke because he, one of the wealthiest men in the USA, had supposedly exhausted ALL other options of getting rid of the Sabatinis. Nothing else could’ve made Trump personally — not even via flunky but personally — visit a trailer park (which I’d presume is to Trump little better than a homeless encampment) to convince Duke to help him. If Duke was once a criminal genius, he’s clearly lost his edge. Or GBT just got bored with the storyline really quickly, there’s that as well.

For the real ending to this story arc, see here -

Did Duke get paid, or did he have to sue Trump?

RELENTLESSLY nice people, the Sabatinis.

The orange buffoon loses to – gulp – nice guys. He just can’t understand anyone else’s perspective; that’s the problem with malignant narcissists. How anyone can support him, thinking for a nanosecond that he cares or even knows they exist, is beyond me. People throw everything away for him, only to be themselves thrown under the proverbial bus at the first possible moment they become a liability to him. “Giuliani? Barely know the guy.” “Cruz, your wife is ugly. Thank you, Mr. Trump.”

Now I want some good pasta!

Totally NOT in Trump character. “Ok Duke, I need people that can do the job required of them and you failed. You’re fired.”

Did you notice the spaghetti strand being sucked in?

Alice and the noodle – Garry should have drawn her and Elmont having a Lady And The Tramp moment over spaghetti.
