You know what Joe should have done last night?

Although now I would do it at the last debate.

Bring a bowl of mashed potatoes with him and put it on the lectern.

Just in case Donald needs a snack tonight Jill made him some mashed potatoes.

You'll remember that he was still freaked out about it in 2017 when they celebrated his sisters' birthdays at the White House. It's only been around 70 years...

His eldest brother dumped a bowl of mashed potatoes on his head one night at dinner when 7 year old brat Donald wouldn't stop torturing his younger brother (the one who just died). And he was still freaked out about it and the humiliation when someone brought it up during a family birthday for his 2 sisters at the White House in 2017! He's kinda thin skinned...

Not sure if I can stomach it. Reading Woodward’s was hard enough.

This is really a nightmare.

And there are parts that are very tough to take, particularly her grandfather's attitude towards his kids, especially towards his eldest son, Mary's father. He was not like Donald, he wasn't a "killer" like the grandfather wanted, he loved being a pilot and had friends. That whole family was painfully dysfunctional, and Mary did a good job analyzing it since she not only grew up with them, but she's also a trained psychologist. I do recommend it though, it's not only well done, but it explains quite a lot.

Jill might want to add some cheddar cheese so it will match his complexion.

the Moderator can have someone bring him/her (don't know who the moderator is) out a bowl of mashed potatoes. Moderator could look Trump straight in the eye and say "Don't make me use this on you."
