Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 14, 2017

Ladies and gentlemen, your Commander-in-Chief.

(Those are accurate Donald Trump quotes.)

Unfortunately, for the Trump Trufans, none of that matters. The guy could grow horns and a tail, and they’d still follow him off a cliff…

And the words to the song went: “someone will set the spark off, and we will all be blown away.”

And then, that teacher was immediately fired by Donnie’s father for calling into question Donnie’s lack of clues.

you poor parrots have 8 more years to go.

Makes W sound like a college professor.

I can believe the question and the reply. But did the reporter really say “So, no clue?” Followed by that specific North Korea quote?

Where’s the joke? He is as knowledgeable and articulate as the great president Geo. W. Bush!

The sad part is that too many Americans hear this gibberish, and think he actually said something.

The girl to Lil Donnie’s right is looking at him so dreamily. She wants him.

Crazy Trump proves that we have a very big problem in America.

The comments today are among the best ever. I think 95% are right on the mark (on both sides).

And while I’m heaping it on, this is definitely among GT’s better political strips.

Trump definitely has tiny hands in the strip.

Someone posted that we have 8 years of this to endure. I (prayerfully ) differ. I don’t think Trump will last out his 4 year term. He will either be impeached ( if the Dems regain the House or the Senate – a strong possibility, thanks to tRUMP ) or he decides he’s accomplished so many wonderful things, that he ( in typical Trump fashion ) turns over the White House business to his Vice-President, or …he finally has a complete mental and physical meltdown.

If any of those scenarios play out, I predict we’ll all be talking about and lampooning President Pence ( Now there’s a really scary thought ! )

It is funny how so many Republican trump defenders keep up the line of “well, trump is better than Hillary Clinton.” I take issue with that, I do believe that Hillary is far more competent than trump, but I also believe at this point it is no longer the issue. When I was a kid, I remember there were Nixon defenders who claimed the same about McGovern, saying that Nixon was better than McGovern. I don’t believe that was true either, but in any case, it was not the point. The point was that Nixon was guilty. At the end, he went on TV and sobbed, then resigned. The next day, we all watched as he and his family got on a helicopter and left. It was over. The same thing should happen to trump, though I am no fan of Pence. Again, that is not the issue. There are issues with trump in terms of Russian collusion and treason! That is a serious charge. I am not pro death penalty, so I don’t believe that trump or any of his followers should get the death penalty. However, the penalty for treason is DEATH. This is the level of seriousness with the situation with trump at this time. Trump defenders keep saying that there is no there there. However, as Adam Schiff noted recently, “if there was no there there James Comey would still have a job.” In terms of Comey, many Republicans are crying foul because Democrats were dismayed about his treatment of Hillary. And now, trump claims that he fired Comey due to his treatment of Hillary. Uh no. He fired Comey because Comey was coming too close in his investigation regarding Russia, Comey had asked for additional funds only days before he was fired!

Lock him up!

Remember: YOU LOST THE ELECTION!

As long as the Emperor can appease his rabid fan base, by throwing them raw meat, he’ll stick around. But there will come a day, when all but the most die-hard Trumpists are going to desert him. When that happens, he’ll simply tell the world that he accomplished everything he told them he’d do, and he’s made America Great, then he’ll walk away, leaving the sh*t & shambles for someone else to clean up.

I said to someone a couple of weeks ago there’s a real chance he’ll use the Vietnam exit strategy: when he tires of it, he can declare victory and go home.

He certainly doesn’t need this: it’s a whole lot more responsibility, accountability, and just work for a whole lot less money than he was making before. When the ego boost of being The Prez fades, there may not be so much to keep him in the job.

LOL. That sounds like one of the clueless Miss America contestants answering her big question when she doesn’t even know what she was just asked. LOL

“If you can’t dazzle them with Diamonds, baffle them with B.S.!”

If the Democrats are able to take control of either the House or Senate in 2018, they’ll begin a new investigation of Trump’s financial connections as soon as the new Congress convenes. Trump will resign rather than allow the Dems to subpoena his tax returns from the IRS and delve into his long history with Russia.

No one reads comments this far down the page. However, I have to say how much I appreciate the read. I am a PROUD Democrat. I wonder if any Trump followers can use the the word, “proud” when addressing Trumpezium?

An international embarrassment and a national disgrace. Republican’ts should be ashamed of themselves.

I have to say: a lot of the more recent (later) posters seem to misunderstand, as does the President, that a very small percentage of the electorate voted for him. The vast majority of his votes were from people voting against Hillary.

Why do you think Gary Johnson got several million votes? While I’m sure there were maybe a dozen friends and family who wanted him to be President, 99% were just voting against both.

It is entirely the Democrats’ fault that The Donald is President now. Lets see if they can nominate someone the tiniest bit electable next time.

Quick quiz: name 3 other people, any people, with at least a room-temperature IQ who could have lost a head-to-head election against Donald Trump.

In the early primaries, there were nearly 20 Republicans to choose from, several of whom are intelligent and most of whom are sane. Yet the primary voters picked Trump, who is neither.

And about the actual comic strip today: MOST of Trump’s answers to questions are this random, this incoherent, and (frankly) this idiotic.

Nobody is safe. Nobody can make definite plans. Nobody knows what he might do.

MONTESSORITEACHER…..We are NO gold standard to anyone in the world at this point….from election integrity to healthcare and environmental issues and everything in between, we are not setting any kind of an example.

Sounds like most of the comment makers here are still in denial about the last 8 years

For a blast from the past, go take a look at Doonesbury 4-5-2015. He’s in. He’s out. He wimps out before the first primary. …

The rest of the kids in the class love him, he makes even the stupidest look smart.
