Here we are again, with Trump doing something he thinks makes him look strong, but is, in actuality, just ridiculous. We still wonder where he comes up with his ideas for some things. Heh, we will probably always wonder until the time he passes on. As a side note, it’s been interesting to see him fade faster and faster every week, if not every day. It’s as if the downhill slide accelerates. Perhaps it’s easier for us to see because we don’t interact with him every day. That slide has given us a great amount of entertainment, and this is about one of those things. With appreciation for Raw Story:
The release of a Donald Trump “commemorative” US passport, featuring an incomprehensible message from the president, baffled a conservative pundit on Saturday morning, which led to gales of laughter on MS NOW. Before moving on to more serious topics, “The Weekend” co-host Jackie Alemany told the panel, “Let’s talk about Donald Trump’s new commemorative passport. This features a picture of the President leaning over scowling with his signature scowl, but it also has a new catchphrase on it. His message: ‘Welcome, but be good.’”
What huh? Welcome, but be good. That makes no sense whatsoever. A passport is required to visit another country. So, what on earth is that slogan supposed to mean? None of us would want to hand that over to Customs in another country. It’s embarrassing. And it says nothing good about our ‘president’. No scowl for me, thanks.
That led to an initial outburst of laughter and all five panelists talking over each other before conservative journalist David Drucker attempted, “I mean, sure, we should all be good, whether you’re coming here or not.” “I don’t — I mean, what do you do with that?” he asked before pausing, which led to another outburst of laughter.
What *do* you do with that? Maybe Trump wants everyone who is leaving to humiliate themselves in another country. Perhaps he thinks it makes him look good? Whatever it was, we could theorize on and on and still not figure out an answer. Do you think it’s possible NOT to get this baloney “commemorative” passport?
Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr interjected, “Does he understand what a passport does? A passport allows you to travel —.” //// ”To leave the country!” co-host Eugene Daniels interrupted. //// “We’re all immigrants until he says we’re not, so maybe that’s what that it means,” Drucker joked. //// “I can’t imagine traveling abroad and presenting that, you know, proudly and just wondering what the — the impression that I’d be making,” Atkins Stohr added to more laughing.
We would probably be laughed back out of the country we were trying to visit! If not, the entire world knows what a jerk Trump is, so maybe we could laugh together?! Lawd have mercy! Maybe there could be an “accident” that would mess up his picture. Or something, because just no! It means don’t travel out of the US until he’s gone and passports become normal again. Here is an image for you. I couldn’t get the entire picture from Aaron Rupar saying, “Kim Jong Un thinks this is a bit much”.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Just another grift Susan.
