Trump's Black Friday
Trump has a nearly all-white cabinet
Do you know who Scott Turner is? He’s a former player in the NFL, former Texas state representative, former Executive Director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council in the first Trump administration (sic), and is currently Trump’s nominee to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in his second administration (sic). He’s also the only Black person to be nominated to serve in his administration. There are still three seats open that require Senate confirmation (Trade Representative, Small Business, and Council of Economic Advisors, so there’s still a possibility Herschell Walker or that crazy sheriff guy from Milwaukee will make the cut.
The only two non-whites in the Trump administration are Marco Rubio as Secretary of State and Vivek Ramaswamy in a stupid newly-created post where he gets to share duties with the whitest person in Trump’s cabinet, Elon Musk.
The 21 percent of Black men who chose Trump over Kamala Harris are getting their first taste of what Trump is going to do for them. Nothing.
At least Scott Turner hasn’t been accused of rape or sexual assault…yet. In his first administration, Trump made Ben Carson the head of HUD. He must think it’s the only department for Black Republicans.
I don’t know much else about Scott Turner but since he’s a MAGAt, I believe it’s safe to assume he’s not qualified. HUD is definitely one of the agencies Trump doesn’t care about.
I was thinking about doing something on Black Friday, and one of my clients asked me to, but he was thinking of something non-political that wouldn’t hit Republicans. I wasn’t going to do that anyway, but he dropped my cartoon service while I was on my layover in Iceland, so fuck that guy.
I thought of this while tossing and turning because of jetlag and a very uncomfortable tiny bed. Seriously, this thing’s ridiculous.
I drew the cartoon at a tiny coffee house in Notting Hill close to my hotel and it was awesome. I had an Americano.
One cool thing about being here is the time difference. A lot of you will find the cartoon waiting for you when you wake up. I’m going to try not to nap today so I can adjust to this time zone.
Now, I’m going to get some Indian in a British pub…which will not help my attempt not to nap.

Time was when young Black men got all up in your face about tokenism. Now they vote for it.
I'd put it at better than 50 - 50 that Trump will start a war with somebody. Probably at the behest of Putin.
I have been a Trump hater ever since I happened to catch part of a some interview he was doing with Marla. At the time he had four children and proudly proclaimed he had never changed a diaper. Since I doubt he changes his own this isn't surprising. Normally I don't approve of mocking medical conditions, but he is just such a vial of a human excrement that I will make an exception. I didn't watch the whole thing since this was the day of having to literally flip TVs. Yes remotes had been a thing since the Brady Bunch, but those were still too expensive. I tried searching for a link and I couldn't find one. The only reason I had any clue who the man was was due to Marla being on an episode of Designing Women.
