Nice! Minor correction--I don't think the last line is spoken by Trump.

I like the shift in the Kush, and it makes me wonder if it's headed somewhere. Also, the serial is fantastic. This version of Trump reminds me of Ignatius J. Reilly in many ways. I would totally pay real money to read this in collected form on paper

I wouldn't have thought Reilly but I won't sniff at a comparison to Toole, thanks. As for Kushner, as with Mulvaney, the fictive versions must, like the real ones, keep up with the times.

When I allow myself to dream about the fall of Jared Kushner, “you’re the guy that runs the shirt press in the prison laundry” is strangely….perfect.

Mr. Edroso, I have been hired by the mountain people of America. Any further attempts by you to link them to Donald Trump shall trigger a defamation suit. You have been warned

There aren't many photos of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention during their early 1960's jugband period. Do you have their EP, "The Mothers of Invention Blow"?

Just swell. This is becoming more like an acid-infused "Skin of Our Teeth" at every installment, minus the allegories.

And the allegories were the worst part!

Did Trump eat Muskrat Suzy or Muskrat Sam? Inquiring Captains and Tennilles want to know

I just now looked at a deleted scene from "Blazing Saddles" in which Gov. Lepetomane visits the Potemkin Village version of Rock Ridge, and thought that he was like a much less malign version of your Trump. https://youtu.be/XrpwBgh7gGc?t=270
