Hay, if you cannot call a complete halter to the puns, at least rein them in. There's no reason why this thread cannot be stable instead of being saddled with this kind of bit, which will only spur others on.
Proving he's not trash has not been tried and failed; it has been found difficult and left untried.
Setting aside, for the moment, the fact that he very obviously IS trash, and therefore "proving" he isn't would be a fool's errand...
I feel completely confident in saying that every super-rich family has Fred T***p, or someone like him, especially if you go back more than two or three generations.
The difference is that the "silk stocking" types in Manhattan (and everywhere else) high society have learned how to smooth those rough edges and cover those embarrassing little foibles.
Even the dumb offspring of those families can get into a name school, learn how to dress, which fork to use, which books to read (or say you've read), how to make the kind of charitable donations that cover your ass, and in general, how to make the right noises.
Then there's our boy.
He's not only as dumb as a stone boat (hat tip to Stephen King), but also, refuses to learn or act any differently, because his flaccid little ego can't bear it. He has such an immense, grotesque sense of entitlement that he can't even be bothered to make the right noises. He very obviously believes that respect and liking should be handed to him, like everything else in his much too long life, just because he screeched, "I WANNIT!" If anything, he revels in being as much of a pig and vulgarian as possible.
It's the social skills equivalent of trying to play Mozart if you've never seen a piano, and it may go over big with the Trasho-Americans who don't mind shooting themselves in the foot to "own the libs", but the fancy rich kids are clearly appalled by him, and he knows it, and it eats him alive.
Every tyrant eventually builds himself a temple. Trump’s just happens to come with a toilet and a golden cross made of ego. The prophets had deserts, he’s got drywall. You can’t bunker down from karma, Bunker Baby. Blessed be the ones who rebuild when fools tear holy things apart.
So yesterday I read that the East Colonnade and the family movie theatre were still standing. But apparently they are gone today, or will be. The Colonnade is where that lovely photo of Obama running with Bo the Dog was taken.
I think it's also where Melania's blood trees were.

It means that he wanted to invade San Francisco, possibly to punish Nancy Pelosi for existing, and was dissuaded because A) someone pointed out that it's a wealthy part of the country and/or B) someone bribed him not to.
"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who created the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange and served prison time after failing to stop criminals from using the platform to move money connected to child sex abuse, drug trafficking and terrorism. He has deep ties to World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture that the Republican president and his sons Eric and Donald Jr. launched in September."
This time of year, it's a race between me, the banana slugs, and some random little critters to harvest the oyster, lobster, chanterelle, bolete/porcino, and hedgehog mushrooms that grow along my forest walk. So far, I think the enemy is winning.

It's a big world out there kid. We're all here if you need emergency hugs.
I spy you with my eye!
Foal forced to peek over fence.
It just smiled at me. That dumb horse smiled at me. Take him away.
Trying to make a poem
I'm feeling like a dolt
My mind was thinking pony
When it should be thinking colt.
Even when they don't intend it, horseys manage a terrific suspicious side eye, positively scouring...
"Mommy, a bunch of monkeys are staring at us."
Don’t be fooled, that baby already knows smart humans carry apples and carrots in their pockets. What a cutie.
Q: Why did the momma horse tell the baby horse to eat the apples and carrots?
A: it would "be-hoof" her!
That one gave me a huge smile! Thank you, Martini!
Same here.
Anybody else feeling a little *ahem* hoarse?

That was a foal, foal pun.

I wish I could uplike this a dozen times!
Mrs. Ed and Babby Ed say "Hello!"
Mr. Ed out drinkin' at the Horsey Bar.
Whinnn-neigh, Wilbur!
“Nooooo, Wilburrrrrr… not the rubber glove, Wilburrrrrrrr”

So... I guess the government is just going to stay shut down forever?
It wasn't working very well anyway.

Yeah, yeah. Get to the lone and level sands already.

Also (this includes the Obama and Bo photo and others); https://www.thedailybeast.com/all-the-east-wing-rooms-trump-is-bulldozing/ The Daily Beast article has lots of photos and descriptions of what was in the East Wing.
Meanwhile, fuck you SNAP.

"Trump tapped Kristi Noem"

Yeah, I'll just bet he did.

Ooh, a SURGE!
Is it a big, manly, rock-hard SURGE, of the sort that is definitely not overcompensating for something?
He doesn't have friends, though...
What does that mean?
It means that he wanted to invade San Francisco, possibly to punish Nancy Pelosi for existing, and was dissuaded because A) someone pointed out that it's a wealthy part of the country and/or B) someone bribed him not to.

I bet there's a shit pile of asbestos floating through dc and into the lungs of the workers.
We'll never have our fun again
We maim our dreams or hide them
Chariots are made of imported steel
And fat ICE men will ride them

"By the way, it has over 60 percent support now" Way to jump on the bandwagon, Barak.

Encourage your little ribbon snakes. They chow down on banana slugs (nasty, nasty creatures) 😒
Hey Oz: "Two more weeks!" is not a plan. It's not even the concepts of a plan.
