Trump Wants to Get the Lame Duck Period Over With
We’ve been wrong before about who is likely to win and to lose an American presidential election. Nevertheless, the Trump After Trump comic strip is a thought experiment in imagining how Trump might react to losing the November 2020 election. I do think that for a man whose brand is “winning,” eleven weeks of lame duck status would be unbearable.
There are many people who think that getting Trump out of the White House can’t happen soon enough, and Trump himself could turn out to be the person who wants more than anyone to get hims out of Washington D.C. ASAP.
The third panel of this comic feels like a little metaphor for Trump’s impact on the world: he waves around the symbols of power and wealth without any awareness that he may be whacking other people – even his own vice president – in the face.
Is he tickling Pence’s nose in panel 3?
Haha, he is gesticulating wildly, so Pence has to react quickly and dodge the fancy pen to avoid the nose-tickling, or worse. Thanks for the question!
