Title: Trump and Judge Cal
Post by: Tarantino on 24 August, 2019, 04:03:28 PM
Is anyone else seeing the similarities between Donald Trump and Judge Cal?

They are both obviously insane and in positions of immense power and no none around them is doing anything about it.

Obviously it's past tense with regards to Judge Cal, so can we put this down as another great prediction by 2000AD writers?

It's an accepted fact that the orange one based himself on Cal.

As if Trump could ever care enough about another living thing to have a pet. Petlessness should have been warning enough.

To be fair on Judge Cal, he did manage to build that wall

Booth more than Cal, surely.

Aye, just what I was thinking. Let's just hope it isn't a right-wing paramilitary police force that deposes him.

Imagine if Pat had written that the Cursed Earth was actually the result of the President trying to nuke hurricanes....

It's just scary. Booth more than Cal, though.

I read that issue in my slog just the other day - I resisted putting any references to Donald in there :-)  Only took Cal three weeks as well...

Give Trump time and he'll build his version

He'll keep kicking and screaming but he won't.  Much as he obviously wanks himself daft over the prospect, he isn't quite a dictator.  He'll carry on the normal repairs to existing fences put up during previous administrations and claim that he's building it, though.

Anyway, unlike Cal, a lot of people seem to think he's great.  There's another Booth similarity.

There's also Dave the Orangey-tan, of course.

I think it's very unfair on all orangutans to compare any of them to Trunp!

And anyway, Dave was the second best Mayor MC1 ever had!

Not to  mention criminally neglected in the recent slew of election themed t-shirts put out by Rebellion.

Consider this the start of a petition: we demand a "Vote Dave" t-shirt!
