Donald Trump: Post Tortoise

[Different Drummer]

The following is a comment I found on a YouTube video I was watching.

An old farmer was talking to his friend and said, "Well, the way I see it, Donald Trump is like a post tortoise." Not being familiar with the term, his friend asked, "What's a post tortoise?"

The old farmer replied, "When you're driving down a country road and come across a tortoise balanced on a fence post, that's a post tortoise."

Looking at the puzzled look on his friend's face, the farmer continued to explain. "You know the turtle didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, he's elevated above his ability to function and you just can't stop wondering what kind of dumb asshole put him there."

Molly Ivin's (RIP) favorite quote during the Cheney/Rumsfeld period.......

W and Trump are basically serving as a distraction/diversion while they (RepubliCON Senators) are destroying the U.S. from behind the curtin and in the shadows ....

15. Unfortunately I just heard a clip of pence's graduation speech before I could change the channel

He used the same story to demonstrate the tortoise didn’t get there by himself, he had help from others just as the graduates didn’t come this far by only their own efforts.

I like the your version best.

19. Wish I could take the credit for it. Found it a while back when I had first heard the...

turtle on a post metaphor and it gave me a chuckle. Glad it did for you as well.
