Gavin Newsom's Response To Donald Trump Moving Obama's Portrait To A Hidden Staircase Is Going Viral

Long, long ago, in what feels like a different universe and/or planet — 2022 — President Obama's presidential portrait was unveiled.

-snip-

That portrait was hung near the Grand Staircase in the White House, where it lived for a few years. FWIW, this is where the portrait of the last president generally presides.

-snip-

Then Trump moved it.

-snip-

Naturally, Gavin Newsom's press office responded to this.

In the castles of medieval kings, "excrement shafts" existed wherein the royal deposits could be made.
I would recommend installing such a feature in the White House and hanging Trump's portrait there. Or better yet, simply place the depiction of his hideous mug flat at the bottom of the shaft. Face up.

It fits perfectly with your comment...

Trump visits a fortune teller. She glances into her crystal ball, and after a while she says "I see you riding in the back of a large limousine though a cheering crowd. People are chanting, hugging one another, as tears run down their faces, everyone smiles and looks happy."
"Do I wave at the crowd?" asks Trump.
"No!" Says the fortune teller. "Your casket is closed!"

By the way, I really wish the media would stop showing his "Stanley Stunning" doctored mugshot and show him in all his natural glory - bloated, orange, greasy and nasty.

Fun Software to Replace Donald Trump Images with Kittens

Make America Kittens Again is a perfect smartphone application for anyone who has become tired of seeing countless images of Donald Trump. A unique algorithm will now replace any online photos of this man with images of kittens. Although the main purpose is to block Donald Trump, users have the option to include other figures such as Mike Pence, Marine LePen and Nigel Farage. This is a great mobile phone app for those who are tired of being bombarded with political news.


I have it for my PC browser. You can switch it off and on, in case there's a funny picture you don't want to miss.

Put them outside on the to be completed ex rose garden and use it for doggies to go when it is rainy. Doggies can stay dry and close if they are old and then you could just roll up the poopy picture and throw it away giving you multiple rounds of feel good per day. Why the staff will be begging a turn. They could probably sell turns.
