“Truthful hyperbole’ is a contradiction in terms. It’s a way of saying, ‘It’s a lie, but who cares?’.”

All hail Toddler King #TrumpVirus, the Stable Genius ("nay!" - 🐴) with all the best words & #WordSalad too.

"Perfect, really!" "I ended eight wars" - but having gotten only one award, he's giving up on peace and focused on the map and acquiring Greenland. Or anything else other than accountability for #Epstein, #Jan6l or a lifetime of high crime.

#MikeLuckovich sure unpacked a whole lot of truth about #TrumpVirus here!

That's what he does - and why he won not one, but TWO Pulitzer Prizes (for editorial cartooning). And he's given neither to Sir...

So many key ingredients are here - like the #narcissistic boasting & #grandiosity, sure he could shoot someone on 5th Ave. & lose none of his #cult love. And look who he would choose to kill: #democracy, #sanity, #truth, & #NATO.

And the #GQP reply to gun violence? Thoughts & prayers.
