Did the big orange baby go poopy in his Depends, and he felt the need to share that with the world?

this is what it looks like when a mad man ends. we fail to make the connection to every mad man we remember, so maybe, some day, we will stop elevating them to the corner office, let alone the white house, at our grievous peril.
