You're gonna think I'm makin' this up, but---

---since "fuster" is a word meaning "to fret, whine or complain" and a "cluck" is defined as "a stupid or foolish person", it is perfectly accurate and appropriate to refer to Trump as a "fustercluck".

You're welcome.

but they only had room for the first letters of that name on the front of the drummer's bass drum. We were nothing if not an irreverent and abrasive generation.

The Orange Nightmare on Pennsylvania Ave has a new preferred title. I guess Orange Fustercluck will be needed till we all identify it.

They want to congratulate him on making the next issue of the book.

Look for him under record set for the most fusterclucks in one lifetime.

(Most obnoxious politician goes to McTurtle, by a small margin, otherwise Trump would get that one too.)

The name will be spoken with disdain and be banned from mention in polite society. His idiot children will be tainted with the same stench of failure and ineptitude and thankfully we will be freed from these morons in about 200 days at the ballot box.

I don't care if I have to rent a rubber suit and scuba gear to show up and vote, I am going to make my mark against this incompetent loser in November and I will do my level best to make sure his name carries the shame of his performance and deflection of responsibility forever more!
