#192 In which we wish upon a star

If you want to make a child happy, take them to Disney World and get them duded up as a princess or a pirate. In their minds they are not dressing up; they really are a princess or a pirate. All it takes is a tiara or a bandana, a wand or a sword, and there you are: A happy child. 

World leaders and business moguls have learned a similar lesson with the man of wealth and taste, and the South Koreans exemplified it perfectly by giving the little king a (replica) crown. And when it was time to sit down for dinner, they served him the traditional Korean cuisine of beef patties with ketchup and brownies decorated “with the color of gold that President Trump favors,” which is, we here at ConstiToonies HQ imagine, the Trumpian equivalent of a Mickey ice cream bar on a hot day in Orlando. In return, Donny Dementia lit up like a little princess in her Elsa finery, and promised to make North and South best buds again. 


On the same trip, of course, he also announced renewed nuclear weapons testing to keep up with the Chinese and Russian Joneses. The princess giveth and the princess taketh away.

You can see all the common chitchat with a simple Google search, and most of it is pretty entertaining, but you can also now see a video of a caddy earning his princely tip by conveniently dropping a fresh ball away from the rough so the Chief Executive can get a clear shot of it. A couple of things about this are notable. First, Trump himself doesn’t do the actual ball manipulation; he has his caddy do it for him. And second, he cheats at golf in Scotland. Scotland! This is like eating Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in Italy, or not eating poutine in Canada. It is an insult to the core essence of the country. But, then again, it is Donald I-think-I’ll-give-myself-a-three-on-that-last-hol...

Any suggested limit on firearms, maybe things like universal background checks, turn our thinking and praying politicians into raging action heroes. However, the Trump administration, the last people you would expect to take our guns from our cold dead hands, is considering—FINALLY—a ban, albeit limited, on firearms. They are looking at making America great again by banning transgender folks from owning firearms.   Oliver Clothzoff, from this year’s Great British Baking Show was unavailable for comment.
