      [Ninja edit. I’m out of control. This morning I started doing one Trump impression after another and I started one in here too. Trump mania is always a mistake for me because they tend to get unfunny fast. But I keep going anyway. Still I reserve the right to come back and do one later. No windmills - maybe. Believe me. Believe me.]

        probably a good call on the ninja edit, i didn’t see the original.

        but trump serves a similar function to the photo here. he really embodies the zeitgeist of the current crisis.

          If I do tell a joke - it’ll be a parody of another president. I don’t think I can do it. I can’t even figure out how to get started. And that’s probably for the best.
