The Doonesbury Trump retrospective proves that Garry Trudeau had Drumpf's number all along
The Doonesbury Trump retrospective proves that Garry Trudeau had Drumpf's number all along
On September 14, 1987, Garry B Trudeau ran the first Doonesbury strip that mentioned Donald Trump, in which his characters marvel that New York's "loudest and most visible asshole" had floated a political trial balloon, hinting that he would run for president; thus began 30 years of marveling at, mocking, and skewering Der Drumpf, so rattling the Short-Fingered Vulgarian that he felt the need to issue a series of wounded denunciations. Now, just in time for the election, Trudeau has released a collection of his Trump-themed strips, http://amzn.to/2dsbfx1 (Yuge: 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump), just the thing to put the Republican nominee on tilt
The first thing to know about Trudeau's Trump strips is that they're funny as hell. As Trudeau writes in his introduction, Trump is a "gift beyond imagining" to comedians (everyone knows this now, but Trudeau recognized this fact when Trump was still in larval form, still developing his ovipositors and tentacles), and Trudeau does not waste one dram of the comedic potential of the thin-skinned, self-regarding, self-unaware blowhard alleged billionaire who is now in the running to gain control of the world's largest nuclear arsenal.
That's the second thing you need to know about these strips: they're definitely in the ha-ha-only-serious realm. Trudeau has an unerring nose for Trumpian bullshit (years before the tax-return business, his characters were wryly noting that the billions Trump claimed in his net worth surely included billions for his "brand"). He spotted the Trump University scam from day one -- and mercilessly slammed it with the comic-strip equivalent of John Oliver's best Trump material -- and years before that, he was making great hay out of Trump Airlines.
After all, Trump is the man who spent millions on a luxury yacht he christened the Trump Princess, then his "fear of ocean travel kept it moored off his various failing casinos" (Trudeau gives his Hunter Thompson avatar, Duke, the job of captaining the Princess, natch). That's before you get into the comedic potential of his stupid TV show, his creepy sexual remarks about his own daughter, his string of tawdry affairs, and so on, and so on.
Every four years, Trump has postured about a presidential run, and every four years, Trudeau pricked his bubble. Now, it's up to all of us. But Trudeau hasn't abandoned us: the 2015 strips show us that Trump has physical comedy potential to meet-and-beat rubberfaced comedians like Jim Carrey -- Trudeau's pen transforms him into a medusa-coiffed low-budg Rodney Dangerfield with a wicked case of Dunning-Kruger and a shitty attitude. There have been many election-season caricatures of Trump, but Trudeau's been doing this for 30 years. He's practically the court artist of Castle Trump, and no one can beat him (not even Trump, whose capacity for self-parody can't be overstated).

Keep stretching there kid! You have completely lost all touch with reality. Calling someone a cuck isn't talking about there girlfriend. Your the only one I've talked shit about your girlfriend. Homo? Sais the hillary cuck! Your girlfriend would ruin me because she is a fat discusting slob! Or really a guy.Too bad you live in America cause I'd love to meet up and film the results for the meso people. You can get your ass stomped the fuck out and meet my friends. Before they stuff you into a...... I'll leave it to your imagination. I can tell by your constantly reporting media regurgitated back wash that your are the biggest cuck pussy ever. Your profile pic is laughable!That is the second or third time you have mentioned someones girlfriend having sex with another guy. Whats that about stud? You just like thinking about dudes naked? Homo lately?? My girl would wreck your world btw. So keep up your moronic posts. Its obvious your looking for the approval and friends you cant find in the real world.
Have a good day. Fucking clown

Yah constant memes and mile long cut and posts aren't excessive! Go back to kindergarten you fucking hack job. You gonna accuse someone of smoking meth in here for excessive posts than you should probably address more than me. But defend your buddy the PUNISHER over there. Lol I've met some serious cuckolds in this thread lol.

I'm going to attack you now because apparently the amount you post is grounds for troll attacks. Bro you, you, your a dick head meth smoker and your gay!
So you know that's not an actual attack, I'm just fallowing suit to a couple of meso biggest pussies. Go ahead keep posting ten paragraphs of copy past regurgitated slanted biased media reports.
Again this isn't a legit attack I'm just trying to fit in with members so I can make some friends, cause I have none, that's why I'm here.

@dantheghman you actually seem to bring some good points to this discussion but when you go into your whole cuck crap and personal attacks it starts to affect your credibility and puts you into a troll/douche status that doesn't offer anything to the discussion.
By your own words you say libs are emotional with no facts so they attack. Thats pretty much what you do in the bulk of your posts. If you cleaned it up it makes for a better discussion.

You are the dumb fuck that thinks your tuff. I said nothing about my friends except they will clean up the mess. There you go only taking what you want from my posts and spinning it to suit yourself.

Read his pointless attack on me. That's not the height of trolling? Just when I relax and start joking and having fun with it, I get accused of smoking meth lol.

That's exac
That's what I did, I cleaned it up and started having fun with it instead.
But unfortunately for you and the point you're missing, none of those people stated multiple times they're done with this thread then came back like herpes. That aware goes to you.
No one else quotes the same posts multiple times routinely like you do. I can picture you frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog. You're so amped up to post (or high or retarded) that you can't even get your full thoughts out in you first attempt at quoting a post. It takes you a few tries lolol.
Finally you're making a run at beating out Doc Scallt for most posts in this thread. The sad part is, he's been in it since the beginning and you just joined in the last few days. You want to talk about excessive? Look in the mirror so pot can meet kettle lol.
Wait, you have routinely told anyone who hasn't shared your viewpoint and said democrats can't argue logically so they use personal attacks. It like you're in the same group as democrats since you can't argue without resorting to personal attacks hahaha. This is just too easy man. Give me some sort of challenge....
Again, just like the democrat you claim twists words to make an argument out of nothing, you do so here. I never accused you of smoking meth. Your reading comprehension borders on that of your spelling....I've met elementary school kids who could spell better. Honestly.
Apparently your feelings are pretty sensitive. You think you're being picked on...how cute. I have a safety zone you could go to for protection hahaha. Pointing out your numerous blunders doesn't mean I'm defending anybody.

Well, If someone like trump had access to the power in Chile, the civil war would be imminent and brutal.
Northern conservatives are exponentially more brutal than conservatives in the South. I imagine that it should not be something funny.

Oh oh oh well ok then, as long as you say so! Fucking hair brained sissy.
I do have one question. It's pretty hard to pick up on anger or sarcasm by reading a written post. Yet you seem to be a master of it. That's why you picture me frothing at the mouth when I'm actually laughing at your rediculous comments. The only thing your good at is the art of lost in translation. That and taking what you want of someone's posts and spinning it to benefit yourself. You attack me for too many posts, yet if you string them all together there still less than some of the cut and posts that are ten paragraphs long. You make senseless point after point. It gets frustrating when assumptive know it alls like you try and attack me using my posts that you failed to interpret correctly. Got news for you little boy, (fallowed by senseless ussumption just like you)

Also you use things like me saying twice that I'm out of this conversation like that in some way helps you prove a point. You mind explaining that to me?

Sorry to everyone else who might think I'm a "frothing"lunatic. But I can assure you wether I sound heated or not, I'm in no way the type of person who acts like that. I talk harshly sometimes but I assure you I do it in a calm, non tantrum way. That's not saying that I don't think the way my posts describe it just means I'm not an idiot who sits there punching holes in the wall while I'm doing it. harsh words make not a terrible person. Harsh actions do. sometime, most times harshness drives a point across where most pussy foot to spare feelings. I don't do that I speak my mind, and I do it while spreading facts in my own words instead of copying or regurgitating someone else's opinions because I'm not smart enough to form my own.
