The guest Klurf is embarrassingly better at him in both art and conveying a message unambiguously. Too bad they're wrong.

The one klurf is even named "White Man" based on the initials on his... speed suit?

Donald Trump is the modern day Lincoln,

specifically Robert Todd Lincoln, president Lincoln's son who sent his own mother to a mental asylum to gain control of the family's fortunes

quote:

In 1871, tragedy beset the family again when Lincoln's only surviving brother, Tad, died at the age of 18, leaving his mother devastated with grief. Lincoln, who was already concerned about what he thought were his mother's "spend-thrift" ways and eccentric behavior, and fearing that she was a danger to herself, arranged to have her committed to a psychiatric hospital in Batavia, Illinois in 1875. With his mother in the hospital, he was left with control of her finances. On May 20, 1875, she arrived at Bellevue Place, a private, upscale sanitarium in the Fox River Valley.[27]

Three months after being installed in Bellevue Place, Mary Lincoln engineered her escape. She smuggled letters to her lawyer, James B. Bradwell, and his wife, Myra Bradwell, who was not only her friend but also a feminist lawyer and fellow spiritualist. She also wrote to the editor of the Chicago Times, known for its sensational journalism. Soon, the public embarrassments Robert had hoped to avoid were looming, and his character and motives were in question. The director of Bellevue, who at Mary's commitment trial had assured the jury she would benefit from treatment at his facility, now in the face of potentially damaging publicity declared her well enough to go to Springfield to live with her sister as she desired.[28] The committment proceedings and following events led to a profound estrangement between Lincoln and his mother, and they never fully reconciled.[29]

The "best" part is that it's just more projection. Trump is such a thin skinned baby that he threw a giant screaming tantrum on Twitter because Saturday Night Live made fun of him.

But this election wasn't really about that. Trump's whole shtick is that he's so brilliant that he and he alone can fly the plane. He's as equally domineering to The Common Man as his supporters feign the libs to be, except in his case he's doing it to save them instead of, y'know, giving black people free stuff and selling the US out "international bankers" and such.

This reminds of something: In 249 BC the romans were battling Carthago, as tradition the romans offered some chickens some grains. If the chicken ate the grain the romans would win, if they refused the romans would lose. The chickens refused to eat. This annoyed the roman general Publius Claudius Pulcher who threw the chickens overboard while saying "Bibant, quoniam esse nolunt" ("Let them drink, since they don't wish to eat").

Bad lesson to learn from that. The polling wasn't that bad. Even before the election, the race was close enough that pollsters knew Trump could still win.

Art got kidnapped by Muslims who sold him to... this Indian bounty hunter who loves money and hates God.

Weed got a job at a liberal MSM TV studio as their pet conservative punching bag, but he told the truth too much, and I guess they're going to throw him to the mob? Maybe? It's been months, and he's still there, so...
