Petri dish might be a bit technical. Soup bowl, however, is more readily available and has the benefit of being within the ken of the average trumpite who, if he had them at all, failed chemistry and biology.

Trump doesn't even have enough money to bribe a Ukrainian.

These are advanced techniques of which you speak, but it is time, yes.

Edit to clarify: it is time to use these, yes, no matter who's watching. And use them with votes, as always.
