Is there an actual anecdote about two scoops, or is it just a joke about what a child he is?

The anecdote is that Trump gets two scoops of ice cream with his cake while other White House people get one.

Apparently trump instructed the white house kitchens to give him two scoops of ice cream and everybody else one

No it's pretty clear he means that the democrats are the real witches hunting poor ol' Trumpy. It's too heavy handed to debate it. It's basically a more subtle version of all those "Donkey say Trump bad while more bad on Hillary side" cartoons that Ramirez keeps making.

Yeah the Branco is not a joke. Anyone but Branco I might believe it, but Branco is living human poo poo, so it really just means "they're evil witches".

He looks like some snarky, edgy comic book antihero from the SPAWN era who probably dual-wields giant pistols.

"They're evil witches" is exactly what the joke is. Unless the joke is that goons pretend not to understand the most heavy handed humor possible.

Remember that the core premise of the phrase "witch hunt" is that witches don't exist. Still, this actually is one of the more inspired Brancos. That gently caress is the epitome of wingnut welfare and would never have been able to become a working cartoonist if people weren't just paying him to have the​ right bad opinions.

That flew very low for a story about how senior Republicans believed Donald Trump was a traitor before he got the nomination and the Speaker of the House ordered a cover-up.

By what possible metric?
I mean let's assume for a moment in this hypothetical universe Branco is 100% right and there's a magical mystical not-Illuminati "Deep State" led by Barack Obama(???) running the show, and big strong Trump is hounded by them.
In what loving way is this a good "third term" for Obama? What's possibly good about any of this? What successes or upsides are there to speak of? Who benefits? Is it just some playground thing where whoever holds on the longest gets the most points? Because Deep State Obama sure isn't having any luck pushing his agenda through, that's for sure.

Duckbox

Oh Branco, how are you so bad at your job? There are first year Penny Arcade strips with more dynamic poses than that, I have no idea what Trump is supposed to be doing with his hands (or where his thumb is), and his way of drawing even The Good Guy with misaligned crazy eyes and a permanent scowl is just precious.

Plus it looks like Trump is literally afraid of his own shadow.

Yeah I can't see all of them finally admitting that it wasn't just sour grapes from Dems and that yes, Trump is dirty. The ones that do will make sure to include BUT HILLARY IS WORSE!!!! next to Trump going down in flames. Maybe a sinister Obama looming in the shadows.
