Imagine you call in Trump to campaign as a last ditch effort and he tells everybody you’re going to lose and starts talking about hot men’s asses instead

My insulin pump starts spinning rapidly and making noises like R2D2

Trump looks to be fading faster now. I bet Schumer could get some major concessions out of him if he offers him a pyramid for burial with his loyal retainers
