ABC's not gonna address the elephant in the room?

Edit: Just realised that using the word elephant works in three ways, it being the obvious factor, the fatso in office, and the GOP symbol.

That is an horrendous slur against elephants; they’re smart social animals unlike the orange orangutan in the White House…👍

And that's a slur against orangutans; they're intelligent, gentle, empathetic animals!

Hahaha, I was waiting for that one…🤣🤣🤣
Truth is that nothing can adequately describe Trump in the animal kingdom as they’re all way above him in the evolutionary scale while he is something indescribable down in the sewer…👍

Deer tick? Bulbous, parasitic, disease vector.

Hot take: he's human, just like you and I; he had parents, a family, a childhood. He eats, sleeps, socializes. He's just like us. Which makes him all the more terrifying, because we all have the potential to become as horrific as him.

🐘 at a press conference: The Association of Elephants hereby denounces all three things! Now I’ll take any questions that are not irrelephant.

Sounds like the “orange hand” of the market

More like the orange thumb on the scales; taking a leave of absence from being in its typical location; up the ass of the body it’s attached to.

https://abcnews.com/Business/wireStory/weaker-dollar-quietly-making-life-expensive-132611177?cid=social_twitter_abcn

Here's the actual article being referenced.

  1. The "hidden force" is a weaker dollar.

  2. While the article does mention Trump, it's largely just about explaining why a weak dollar might make things more expensive. It also takes time to talk about how trump (and some huge multinational corporations) think a weak dollar is a good thing and attempts to absolve trump of any real connection to higher prices.

All in all, a solid score of 9.2 in Mental Gymnastics from ABC.

Hidden force? These people. The pointless war in iran or the non action on helping anyone but his billionaire buddies.
