The Pinto Presidency, that's what trump has going on. Remember Ford's disaster with the Pinto? [View all]

Well if you don’t let me remind you. Once upon a time Ford made a car called the Pinto. Riding in one was similar to being in a rolling crematorium. If you got rear ended in this...kaboom...up in flames you went. Needless to say that, unlike the spectacular Ford Bronco, they are not bringing back the Pinto.

Well this morning I and my wife were being walked by our dog and low and behold, what should appear but a shiny red Ford Pinto. I instantly made the connection between the Pinto and trumps presidency.

I’ve heard and read any number of analogies for him but this in particular struck me as spot on. It’s true that everything he touches dies, but first it needs to go kaboom. He kabooms with abandon. One more term of him being president and America will look like a rear ended Pinto...kaboom.
