Fool's Gold

Trumpy-wumpy wants a trophy SOOOOOOO bad I thought I'd give him some. Aren't I a nice guy?

The Orange Ofay held a three-hour-plus meeting at the Führerhauptquartiere yesterday whereupon we learned that a dozen hand-picked toadies and cronies confirmed that he was the bestest and smartest and handsomest non-dictator in the whole wide world, which is not to be confused with a parent praising a toddler for successfully making a boom-boom on the potty.

Nope. Not the same thing at all.

Trump is not imposing tariffs on other countries, he's imposing sanctions on America. He's limiting what can be imported and exported and making everything cost more.

He's placed more sanctions on the U.S. than he has on Russia.

Trump is not "saving" America, he is at war with America.

The Sundowning Kid puked up the odd claim that he is "the King of Europe" and Congressional Republicans reacted by saying "That's our boy! Now let's go screw some more poor people."

Technical Note: Raging Pencils is very close to twenty years old. For the first nineteen of those years my intent was to always have the newest cartoon posted before midnight Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday so they could be read bright and early Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

As some of you might have noticed for the past year or so my 'toons have been posted early in the evenings of Mon-Wed-Fri. That's mostly because it's a bit harder these days to concept an original 'toon, for obvious reasons. But it keeps me on the M-W-F schedule so I'm okay with that if you're okay with that.

And, for the record, I intend to keep making these things until 2030, for reasons of my own. Thanks for coming along for the ride.
