He should just mime his “press briefings [brief?]). He has the hands for it. And he’d be better off miming this latest hoo-ha about China maybe possibly could have let the virus escape the lab on purpose…we already don’t understand his psycho-babble.
Two things;First, I think Ruben’s taking advantage of poor Donnie. He doesn’t even have to write his own lines anymore, just research a few quotes. ;)Second, how does the head of Trump’s coronavirus task force not know masks are required in a hospital? Did Pence not read the memo he his staff wrote telling everyone else on the trip they were required? Did he not notice everyone else in the hospital wearing them? Did his wife not tell him, before he left, to be sure to pack his mask? It seems the only example these folks can set for us is how to lie about everything, even their wives do it.
An estimated 37,000 out of an esimated 59,000,000 cases, .06% death rate. Covid is estimated around 6% death rate. It’s been around 2 months and we have 63,000 dead so far.
Ben Jonson died in 1637. The Restoration was in 1660. Of course Restoration comedy was greatly influenced by Jonson, but that should go without saying – not unlike this comment. ;-)
The Lord of the Lies is no longer amusing. He is an out-of-control, narcissistic psychopath who needs to be stopped. Every day he remains in office is another nail in the coffin of democracy in the United States.
Unfortunately, none of the self-serving sycophants in the Senate or the gutless enablers in the House of Representatives have the balls to stand up to him.
Let’s not forget his sidekick Jared (All Medical stockpile is belonging to Us) Kushner recently back from his comedy tour of the Middle East. A memorable performance was turned in by Pence with his tour of the clinic and his Masks? We don’t need no stinking masks routine. And let’s give a shoutout to McConnell and his Let them go bankrupt act….classic Marie Antoinette. Comedy at it’s finest.
“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the Money Power of this country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic destroyed.”Abraham Lincoln, letter, 1864

He’s just like Andy Kaufman playing a character. Or maybe he is Andy Kaufman.

I’ve always said there is a little humor to be had in any situation. This time, not so much.

I don’t agree that they’re different styles of comedy. The whole administration smacks of Theatre of the Absurd.

Don’t forget he’s been entertaining us for years… Remember those knee slappers: “Lock her up!” and “Mexico will pay for the wall.”

No Trump Disciple comments?
Nothing even congratulating Ruben for highlighting the true nature of Trump’s approach to the pandemic as comedy?

I like the strip, Ruben, even if I can’t totally agree with the premise or the conclusion. tRump doesn’t make me laugh, he makes me cringe.

If you had a job interviewee who talked in the kind of word salad that Trump employs, you wouldn’t.
