“Yes, it is deeply humiliating for Donald, which is always gratifying.”

And don’t forget the Epstein Files - DJT stars ⭐️ in those!

Once again, you knocked it out of the ballpark, Mary . Too bad you're not the Trump in the Oval Office.

Thanks Mary - hilarious depiction of the hilarious fiasco that was characterized as the "Great American State Fair", and we appreciate your coverage so we didn't have to experience the agony personally.

Wow, he has the three-volume set of LIBRARY. He’s such a completist.

Hollow books for a Hollow Loser. 🤣😵‍💫🤣

Thankfully, we are celebrating the USA's 250 anniversary in the glow of Trump having made us great again.

My issues:

I worked in a public library for over 20 years. No, we don't put the word Library on book spines because...well...that would be stupid. And, that is the only title in his "library?" I put library in quotes as Donald has said he doesn't like libraries. His plans for his presidential library includes a hotel.

"Frankly, we couldn't build a plane like this because we wouldn’t be willing to spend the kind of money necessary." We built the freakin' plane to began with! And, no, we don't want to spend the money on an airborne Versailles.

Theodore Roosevelt is surely spinning in his grave.

The Great American State Fair:

The one thing that this event proves is that Trump never stepped foot into a state fair.

My husband built stages and set pieces for events like the Great American State Fair. (But, well-planned events.) He looked at the Arc de Trump-infantile and said, "That thing won't survive outside." And, it isn't. Luckily, none of the dancers on stage were hurt when a piece of the structure fell from the rafters.

Thank goodness the economy is good. A turkey leg is $23. Let's say that turkey parts cost $23 a part. 2 legs, 1 breast, 2 thighs, and the rest of the dark meat. Total for one turkey = $138. (currently, a turkey is running from $.99 to $3.50 per pound. At $3.50 a pound, a 15lb turkey is $52.50.) Swilling down lemonade for a family of 4 = $36. So a meal of carnival food costs a family of four $123. A pretzel is $10.40. "Sorry, children. It is either dessert or a college education."

So sorry. Done venting.

Most Fake Books for Impressive Libraries, at least look real. I assume this is another case of a no-bid contract by yet another, "I know a guy."

I love real libraries and it was always a childhood fantasy to be locked in my local library overnight so I could read all the books, but those gosh darn librarians always looked behind the drapes!

I know he’s a big dollop, but I still don’t think the pocket in his shroud will take a 747. Anyone pointed this out to him yet?

$9 lemonade ! Couldn’t Donald have contributed one of his millions to make the lemonade $1, and accessible to the masses of people barely making it whom he represents and who are showing up at his marvelous anniversary fair? We the people also vote with our feet.

And now he has the jewelry! Couldn’t make this up.

Something to be happy about this special 250th Fourth of July. Donnie's big fair is a bust. Thanks Mary, I needed your column today.

Too bad felon tRump didn't take a ride on his Ferris wheel when it broke down, leaving him stranded at the top still running his mouth to no one, telling how it was all planned to show the world his greatness.

Well said, Mary! Thank you for all you do. We will get through this. We must.

I assume, the business with comparing the number of votes, is because the vulgarian always uses trumpmath.

That's why he will probably speak about the thousands who were at the "Fair," when in fact, there were tens of people in attendance.

I assume the stage was built by a no bid contract "I have a guy."

Happy Birthday to us anyway, and thank you Mary, for the weekly Troll.

You continue to amuse and bemuse! I think it’s Trump first not American first!
