That's because nothing sums up the Trump ideology more than a big Mac presented on fine China, particularly if you defrauded the person who sold you the China.

My terminology for such occasions is, “It’s like wrapping a turd in gold leaf”

My favourite is 'You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.'

I mean gold is more applicable cause id unwrap the gold leaf from the turd but i wouldnt bother for the glitter, its just cosmetic. The fun of it is the gold leaf. The shittynes the turd obv.

I described the first Suicide Squad movie as “They took diamond bricks and used them to build an outhouse.”

That summarizes Donald Trump’s persona and style perfectly.

Yeah, i know fur is a no go these days but it really does keep you very warm in the cold weather.
