Trump is taking lessons from Darth Vader.

Play stupid games. Win cash prizes.

Who needs new cars anyway. Not me. My car only leaks one quart of oil per 20 miles.

You may remember him from defrauding the Oglala Nation trube. Trump loves fraudsters.

(c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person."

So, wait, doesn't all that mean this order does nothing? 🤔

So who's going to tell him that you don't call poison control for a fentanyl overdose? That's what 911 is for...

How is that going to work when you keep attacking ag. workers? 🤔

(in fairness, the story is kind of badass):

"On January 30, 1835, Richard Lawrence, an unemployed house painter, produced two pistols and fired upon Andrew Jackson on the steps of the United States Capitol. Both pistols misfired and an outraged Jackson beat Lawrence with his walking cane. Lawrence was tried for attempted murder and found not guilty by reason of insanity. He was committed to a number of institutions until his death in 1861."
