That was a new one on me. So I googled "Trump soup," and omfg, how did I EVER manage to miss that?

I'll never look at a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle again without imagining him getting whacked in his silly, orange, straw-colored head with one.

P.S. Thanks so much for the awesome toons!

It was one of those weird rambles of his. He started out talking about cans of soup, kept rambling, and the next thing you know, the cans have morphed into bags..

“In cities across the nation, we’ve ... seen police officers assaulted with bricks, rocks, bats, Molotov cocktails, frozen bottles of water,” Trump said in the footage, which was filmed during his July 31 meeting with leaders from the National Association of Police Organizations. “And then they have cans of soup. Soup. And they throw the cans of soup. That’s better than a brick because you can’t throw a brick; it’s too heavy. But a can of soup, you can really put some power into that, right?”

“And then when they get caught, they say, ‘No, this is soup for my family.’ They’re so innocent. ... It’s incredible. And you have people coming over with bags of soup — big bags of soup. And they lay it on the ground, and the anarchists take it and they start throwing it at our cops, at our police. And if it hits you, that’s worse than a brick because it’s got force. It’s the perfect size. It’s, like, made perfect."
