Too bad more Republicans didn't read MAD magazine in 1992

[DFW]

Then they would have seen this:

[EYESORE 9001]

1. Their attention span is measured in milliseconds

They would have long since forgotten.

[TheBlackAdder]

32. Like frustrated toddlers who never create good, they knock down a great Lego City built by others.

.

This is the height of their talent, so they are pissed at others.

[lagomorph777]

2. An entire life of nothing but bullshit.

What a waste of oxygen.

[11 Bravo]

14. Also of skin ... LOTS of skin!

[Escurumbele]

15. You are correct, the sad thing is that it says a lot about our country, and what it says is not good

One of the goals of Biden's administration is to try to eliminate ignorance, that is what will destroy this country.

[lagomorph777]

31. The Reptilians have deliberately cultivated ignorance for decades.

Their vast propaganda network, their defunding and defiling of public education, all are part of the plan.

[mountain grammy]

3. A crook and an asshole his entire life, who knew?

Everyone! Even his voters knew, but didn't care.

[monkeyman1]

4. his dad was the same ,knew that in late 50's & early 60's . nyc get his dad a few times's

[Docreed2003]

5. Oh man, my mom has a bunch of my old comics and Mad magazines in storage

I should go look through them and see if I can find this one!

[KS Toronado]

6. Mad magazine made fun of the orange turd quite often.

[question everything]

7. They knew this.

If you remember, he never got more than 25% during the primaries. Rank and file R’s could not decide who was more despicable: Trump or Cruz. In their hindsight they wished that the RNC had a better control of the primaries with so many more acceptable (to them) candidates. But I think that by then the barn door was already open. The teabaggers poisoned the party and eliminated any desire to work within the establishment.

[MyOwnPeace]

8. Anybody would have known.......

had they been following Trudeau's 'Doonesbury' - it is AMAZING how he had the guy pegged from the very start!

“Doonesbury is one of the most overrated strips out there. Mediocre at best.”
—Donald Trump, 1989

[peppertree]

10. The cartoon chronicler of our times - since Nixon

[WinstonSmith4740]

9. Loved "Mad" as a kid.

Even more so as an adult when I understood what was in there. Spy Magazine, which I used to call Mad Magazine for adults, used to skewer him on a regular basis. They referred to him as the "short fingered vulgarian". They did a prank once where they sent checks for less than a dollar to a bunch of well known wealthy people. He cashed his.

[yardwork]

34. I loved Spy magazine.

[nuxvomica]

11. Readers of Mad or Spy in the 1990s already had his number

Spy had an item on his criminal foolishness practically every month and referred to him as the "short-fingered vulgarian". I loved Spy magazine.

[mikeysnot]

12. They also punked him by sending him a check for .13 cents

And he cashed it….

[AllaN01Bear]

13. too bad they didnt read mm during tfgs "admin". would have found that mm hated him.

[IronLionZion]

16. Everyone knew he was an asshole going back decades

Apparently a lot of GOP voters like that

[mdbl]

19. who knew there were so many asshole voters

you have to be one to vote for one.

[StClone]

25. I got a uneasy feeling in July 2016 at my class union

There several farmers in my class and they were not only pro-Trump, they were absolutely all in convinced he was some sort of super genius (Wiley Coyote type?). I kept my mouth shut until one person questioned me what I thought of Trump and my two word response was "he's insane!"

[mdbl]

35. thank you for telling them the truth

even though they probably won't believe you since they are already insane enough to think he's a genius.

[Blue Owl]

17. Mad was on it from the beginning -- Whiny Donny's a broke tax cheat!

[COL Mustard]

18. What, Them Worry?

[ironman99]

20. I knew he was a joke of a businessman...

I knew he was a joke of a businessman when he managed to lose control through numerous bankruptcies of businesses that were a virtual license to print money. Prior to the orange maggot, only one other casino, that I can remember, had to file for bankruptcy. And that was a mob controlled casino. If you can't make a profit based on the the known odds of casino gaming, you are a f***ing idiot!

21. Snopes confirms this is real

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/1992-mad-magazine-trump/

[Ursus Rex]

33. It's also available in the collected MAD CD-ROMs from the late 90's/early 2000s.

Every issue, every *panel* (as far as I know) as of the date of publication is collected in that set (not sure about updates since then, though). It's pretty incredible to read issues from the 60's (70's, 80's ... etc) that describe EXACTLY the problems ("situations&quot we face today.

[Joinfortmill]

22. LOL

[Rhiannon12866]

23. Great find!

My Dad subscribed to MAD Magazine and so my brother and I read it, too!

[JI7]

24. They say things like how regular people have no understanding

of these things and he is wealthy so that is proof itself that he knows what he is doing .

[DFW]

26. Debt has always terrified me and fascinated me

I always marveled at how Mio Cid scammed Raquel y Vidas when reading el Canto in my Medieval Spanish class (requirement for my degree). If you have debts of $7 million and assets of $5 billion, that always meant, to my primitive way of thinking, that you were broke. In Trumpworld, if you have $5 billion in assets and $7 billion in debts, but plan to stiff your creditors for $3 billion of your debt, you‘re a billionaire.

It must take a special kind of mentality to get away with theft on that scale—owing so much that your creditors are more scared of you than you are of them.

[SeattleVet]

27. Berkeley Breathed did a series of Bloom County strips about the OrangeAnus...

he got into Bill the Cat after a falling anchor gravely injured Trump. Bill the Cat is kidnapped, and Trump’s brain is transplanted into Bill’s body.

Here's the backstory, but it's WELL worth finding the strips...they REALLY skewered the thin-skinned one.

[misanthrope]

28. MAD Magazine kept me abreast of the Watergate intricacies as a kid

Adults used to cock their heads that I was in fourth grade and knew so much about what Nixon did.

[Paladin]

29. So glad I was smart enough to be an avid "Mad" magazine fan, growing up.

It was a very real part of my education.

[live love laugh]

30. He lied about bankruptcy during divorce. That was obvious to me then. nt
