I wonder if Trump is going to want my T-Ball championship trophy. It's from 1976, so it's red, white, and blue!

I guess all the "Kids today and their participation trophies" geezers are sitting this one out...

The next time someone thinks Trump is going
to take their prize, they ought to replace it
with a cheap imitation.

Maybe she will offer it up if he stops tear gassing 6 month old in Minneapolis. She is upset about it.

I'll toss it in to the pile for Trump. It's a gold ball player standing at bat.

But hey, the more participation trophies, the better. (For him, I mean. You and I did the actual heavy lifting.)

Imagine if thousands and thousands of people sent their participation trophies to Trump!

Do you think he’d understand the sarcasm?

Sending him items like that. I have some 4th and 5th place swimming ribbons that my son would chip in.

My 1958 Armellino Association Championship Little League Trophy. Back in those days all the pols would sponsor Little League teams in the West New York, NJ Little League. John Armellino, sponsor of my team, was the Mayor of West New York and went to jail a few years later for taking bribes to allow gamblers to make book in West New York. I could award it to him with a commemorative plaque if he promises to make me ambassador to Tahiti.

I imagine you as being very competent. That would disqualify you from any place in the current administration.
