I'm glad you posted it. But the dialogue in the cartoon is not intuitive or irrelevant. If you remove the words, all you have is an image of Trump falling on his face. Entertaining, cathartic even, but the image itself doesn't carry the weight supplied by the "I like people who didn't get shot down in Vietnam." It DOES need the words.

Keep your words soft and sweet, because you never know when you'll have to eat them. (attributed to Andy Rooney)

Will and Andy said it better than anything I could have put together.

Great cartoon! A little payback for Cadet Bonespurs' hubris.
