Public Health officials in the District of Columbia are warning residents to be especially watchful for infestations of the common rat in some neighborhoods near the White House. Apparently, numerous, potentially diseased rats are trying to escape from a number of government buildings at an increasing rate, raising concerns about rodent-borne diseases including the dreaded bubonic plague. Residents are warned to keep doors and windows closed until the situation improves. Watch for a Health Department bulletin giving the all-clear, once all investigations are finished.

He also makes an odd pursing expression with his lips that looks like a flute glass. The King Rattus Drumpfus covers all his droppings with gold paint to hide his true identity.

You couldn't write this stuff up as fiction because no reader would suspend disbelief. One must conclude the Trump & Co. never believed the CIA or NSA were very good at intelligence and/or communication intercepts. And then, there's our European allies with their ears to the rails. No wonder Trump wants to dump NATO--fewer eyes and ears on the pickpockets and traitors.
Frigging unbelievable!
