My wife and I were having a political discussion,

and twice, I absently referred to Mike Pence as "Mike Trump".

Once again, I owe Trump more than I could ever repay by turning Mrs. Aristus, once a staunch conservative evangelical Christian Republican, into an ardent liberal Democrat...

I may have helped things along in the course of twenty-one years of marriage, but Trump provided the coup de grace.

One of the songs was "Feed The Birds, Tuppence a Bag," tuppence being "two pence" for the non-Anglophiles among us.

Therefore, I just call our current less-than-dynamic-duo "Trumppence."

You know, like, "Feed the turds Trumppence, and gag."
