Ever since Donald Trump’s fake baseball card connection came out last week, I’ve been wondering something.
What kind of 76-year-old man creates trading cards of himself in all sorts of heroic poses unlike anything he ever actually did?
He was certainly never a superhero who could shoot lasers from his eyes.
He was never an astronaut or a fighter pilot.
He was never an old-west sheriff in a duster and he never rode on the back of an elephant.
Want real life? How about Helsinki 2018, when Trump clearly had something like towel-boy status coming out of his private meeting with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Especially from this picture, with Putin looking like he’s on the top of the world and Trump looking like someone did something unpleasant to hm.
Everyone knows Trump loves to play golf. This might work as a trading vard.
To me, the set of cards he did create show that he is quite possibly insane, or at least slipping away into dementia.
And whether it’s his opponents in the 2024 Republican primaries or his opponent in the fall, they should not let a day go by without using this particular photo in some sort of ad.
Goodbye, Don.
Don’t forget to take your meds.
