Hoping to appeal to black voters while retaining the support of the KKK? Use Trump!
Need to balance the budget while increasing military spending and reducing taxes? Trump will do it!
Trying to combine total openness with complete secrecy? Trump makes it simple!
Looking to stand up to foreign aggressors while fawning all over Vladimir Putin? It's possible with Trump!
If you require a woman-friendly message that stars Roger Ailes... Trump's the answer!
Want to crush ISIS without sending more troops to the Middle East? Trump's got a secret plan!
Tired of the law of the excluded middle and prefer 2 + 2 to make 5? With Trump, no problem!
Vote Trump!

The Donald tries a new tactic to woo black voters by admitting that Obama is a citizen:




Winning is losing
War is peace
Trump is your only hope...

I tried to make it snappy and catchy, and without wanting to boast I think I succeeded. My friends tell me that a bright future as an ad exec awaits me. I do my best to look suitably modest.

War is peace
Trump is your only hope... "
I love the sequences from the Trump rallies where they do the Two Minutes Hate skit and everyone ironically yells "Lock her up!" and "Kill the bitch!" I didn't know there were so many Orwell fans out there.

I love the sequences from the Trump rallies where they do the Two Minutes Hate skit and everyone ironically yells "Lock her ..."
Unfortunately, the tradition goes back to 17th-century Salem, Massachusetts...

Any Republican candidate can do that one! Actually I'm not even sure Trump knows anything about the budget, or cares about it.
Good rant anyway!


By the way, I just did write a review of this PKD classic you might want to take a minute to check out. What a novel!

I would start with The Man in the High Trump Tower (a parallel universe story where the Third Reich, led by Donald Trump, wins World War II), Trump in the Sky (they end up in a world where Putin is America's best friend, trickledown economics is the most effective way to help the working class, and all attractive women want nothing more than to be sexually assaulted by Donald Trump) then perhaps The Three Stigmata of Donald Trump (everyone starts morphing into copies of this creature with an uncontrollable Twitter habit, weird hair and tiny hands).


Hurray! A russian troll!!
How's the weather in Moscow comrade?

Why only two stars?
