I wonder ... if the docs told him he had only a matter of weeks to live, would he spend them seeing just how much of the world he could destroy before the end of his life? Something to think about, now that there seem to be no guardrails in the other two branches of the regime.
Hmmmm ... well, there's his propose "Arch de Trump", and the Reflecting pond, and gold-plating the four horses, and the Kennedy Center, and the $250 bill with his image, and ... the list goes on ... and on ...
Great cartoon! And I love the idea of turning out the lights and quietly leaving the room next time he falls asleep during a meeting. OMG, that would be the best. Well, actually, the best would be if he were actually dead, rather than sleeping, just not as funny. We can dream!! LOL!
It's hard to argue, especially about opinion, but I am not certain that Drumpf is the most racist of all presidents. He has not insignificant competition: Andrew Jackson, who commanded the expulsion of the Cherokee nation and promoted enslavement of Black Americans; James Buchanan who "avoided" civil war by strongly supporting the Dred Scott decision; Andrew Johnson, who was impeached for his racist refusal to enforce the reconstruction legislation that the Congress was passing during his administration; Woodrow Wilson, who resegregated government employment and promised no entry into the "European War." As a landlord, the Tangerine Tyrant refused to rent properties to persons of color, explicitly because of racism. He has appointed judges who have supported his efforts to re-segregate the country. He has promoted racist tropes against... well, you know... but is he the MOST racist? It's close, but the US has such a bad history of racism, I thought to mention that the original sin persists and flourishing in the present administration. I seem to be talking myself into accepting your original assessment. The Mango Mussolini is, indeed, the most racist president of all time. His henchmen and minions - his enablers: Miller; Hegseth; and others, clearly support that view. As Emily Littella might have said: "that's different. Nevermind."
This is just hysterical--Trump dozing, the very long, red tie, Peezy on the lookout, the "treasonous" message, the armed guards and the one signifying treason, the scale draped in red, the ear bandage (Ronnie Jackson?). Can't quite make out the sippy cup, but it's probably funny!
Oh no, it's the smoking scale! That's a good one Clay!
He lies about his health because he has to be the manliest manly man that ever manned like a manly man of manliness mans. (I was trying to channel Hegseth there, did it work?)
IMHO, he had a stroke first, which has led to the series of cognitive tests, and he's likely got some form of cancer that requires regular chemotherapy. Doctor visit, out of circulation for a few days, bruises from the needles - anyone who's gone through that or has a loved one who has gone through it remembers that cycle very well. The visits seem to be hitting up about every month now, usually that will run for six months or so, then a period for the body to adjust and then another series.
I was thinking more of the experience my father had, which was entirely different from your experience, to say the least. Dad's doctor called them "mini strokes". He had a sort of scab or small blood clot inside the carotid artery, and it broke up into small pieces over time. When one of those pieces blocked the blood flow into some part of the brain, he'd just drop. A few seconds later, it would dissolve or break into tinier fragments, and he would just go on. They gave him a lot of blood thinners for that, but it never had any lasting effect, he'd just go down and come back. Scarey!
If Trump did something like that, I'm sure every panic button in the place went off. And it would explain a series of cognitive tests that keep getting repeated. OFC, so does senile dementia, but that doesn't usually have emergency hospital visits until the victim is approaching nonfunctional.
Great toon! Love the mask and cig. My theory on 47's trips to Walter Reed boils down to two words: sedation dentistry. Experience has taught me that a root canal needs 3-4 visits from endodontistry through crown placement. After about 20 years crowns need replacing. So he is in the right age bracket for this stuff. He's also such a wuss that he'd need sedating. Yes, there is a full dental suite in EEOB, but His Wussiness would not want to do the voluntary transfer of power to the veep. W, Biden and Reagan all transferred power for brief periods of sedation.
He's paranoid that his scale is connected to the scales of justice, which he is understandably terrified of.

I think he's already living his life that way regardless.
True, but he might decide to kick it into high gear if he thought time was running out.
If he thought time was running out, his narcissism would force him to put all his focus on his ignoble monument projects.
Hmmmm ... well, there's his propose "Arch de Trump", and the Reflecting pond, and gold-plating the four horses, and the Kennedy Center, and the $250 bill with his image, and ... the list goes on ... and on ...
Something, probably a stroke, has made him see "the end is near".
That's my thought, too.

I'm in total agreement with you!!!
Too scary and too funny...good work.
The week-old corpse would not only beat him in a beauty contest, it would outrank him in every area of cognition and competency.

Aww...haven't thought of Emily Littella in quite some time. Can still hear Gilda say, "Nevermind"!
I think traitor tot could be considered the most racist president* relative to his time period.

The sippy cup says ask me about my cankles.
Thx! Thought that could be it!

Speaking from experience, I do not think he had a stroke.

His teeth are definitely fake. Whether they are dentures or implants, I do not know.
Those aren't scales, they're shingles.
Though he'll never admit to chicken-pox, let alone herpes, it *might explain those horrific (...ermmmm) *things* on his neck, anyway.
Love the line: Me thinks they doth protest too much. Me thinks so, too.
Here’s another line: Liar, liar, pants on fire!
