Perfect. You forgot warmonger. But he has so many defining features it’s impossible to include all of them.

War monger fits perfectly this Sunday morning. But he's beating his chest and playing Tarzan, pretending he's all serious.

you're right!!! that's what we get for having a president who is a convicted felon. That said, even before he was convicted, you couldn't trust him.

Ignoble is correct but we could also say he deserves the Nobel POS prize.

It absolutely galls him that President Obama has a Nobel Peace Prize, and he doesn't. It absolutely galls him that people of color have won the Peace Prize, and he hasn't and what's more won't ever.

It absolutely galls him that women have won the Peace Prize, and he hasn't and what's more won't ever. It absolutely galls him that anyone has won the Peace Prize, and he hasn't and what's more won't ever. He cannot stand for anyone to outshine him in any way great or small. In his warped psyche that means they win and he loses.

For example, Barron is quite a bit taller than he is. Taco Don cannot stand to have his picture taken next to Barron for that reason. Barron in Taco's mind would become the winner, making him the loser. How pathetic is that?

P.S.: Love the Ignoble Prize!!! A more deserving recipient cannot be found anywhere in the universe.

He’s visibly deteriorating mentally, day by day, right before our eyes. Lawrence O’Donnell wondered the other night how we would know he really has gone over the edge. A viewing of the flagpole video from earlier in the week pretty much confirms it. He’s crackers, no doubt about it.

Caroline Kenner's avatar

I think he's more similar to Caligula, personally...... Caligula was certifiably insane, like Trump, whereas Nero was more monomaniacal, also like Trump, but not as insane as Caligula.....

So I've been calling him Orange Caligula for years now......

For sure. He's quite the fiddler...

Maybe he’s a Nerigula - a combination of Nero and Caligula.

Even Nero still had enough of a soul to play the fiddle.

How about a mental hospital for a looong stay?? The psychologists and psychiatrists would have a heyday!! Could imagine him walking down a hall saying, "I'm president of the usa" and another gent walking the hall would comment, "yup, and I'm Robin Hood"!! He is becoming more and more demented. Perhaps not unlike his father.

Trump is just the guy on TV. Always was and is. The real culprits are his promoters, backers, handlers, the Project2025 gang, the Silicon Valley boys, and r/w media that hawks their lying wares. Trump is just useful for clearing the way for corporate oligarchs to establish a totalitarian hegemony. They are no different from the Russian mob. Trump doesn't win anything.

Trump is a tool. A very blunt one. They'll discard him when (not if) he 1) screws up so badly they can't risk keeping him around, and/or 2) he gets too big for his breeches and starts to think HE is running things and challenges their orders.

If you need just one hanging around his neck, make it the size of The London Eye with the lettering:

PERSONALITY DISORDER[S]: MIXED TYPE. Still, "Twisted, malignant, son of a bitch" would suffice.

Piece (of work) prize. Echoing a few other comments: Ann, you should license your cartoons to be used as protest posters; they're better than anything I could dream up!

Feel free to use my cartoons on individual protest posters. Editorial cartoonists consider it a badge of honor. Only thing I ask is that you send me a photo of you holding it at the protest!
