Totally in character, trump’s gaudy tennies “borrow” from 2 oldies. The red sole of Louboutin (trademarked) and gold ones by Gucci.

At the very least, a high school level of maturity is required to appreciate good quality satire.

Be patient, you'll get there some day...hopefully.

It's a bit ironic that you would complain about Trump charging for sneakers while you then go on to charge people here just to watch you draw pictures. Well, not really ironic... more like hypocritical!

Hey, thanks Lyman & Paul for defending me and my work. I think Jason may have missed the point that I'm not criticizing selling products or capitalism in general but am criticizing an anti-democratic criminal on his way to becoming a dictator. Jason, maybe watch the cartoon again, read the post all the way through and click some of the links to learn more. Thanks for participating and keeping things civil around here!

This may mean nothing to you, but I used to be a big fan of your work... so much so that I looked forward to every "toon" and I kept (archived) it for years so I would always have it to look back on. Since then, your deep dive into the murkiness of TDS has been sincerely disillusioning.

I'm neither a fan nor a supporter of Pres. Trump. My impression of him is that he suffers ego problems which motivate erratic behavior. Thankfully, however, I don't suffer from the hysterical obsessions of Trump Derangement Syndrome which you demonstrate regularly in your work. Trump is not "anti-democratic." Neither is he "on his way to becoming a dictator." Your TDS obsession and your denigration of him and his supporters are largely detached from reality and mostly based off of irrational fears. My serious suggestion (something people are no doubt afraid to tell you) would be for you to rediscover the creative (not negatively destructive) roots of your work, the way that it used to be before you, and so many others, contracted TDS.

It's a bit twisted for you to strain to find any morally significant similarity between an iconic lifelong scamming crook and a fellow working to make an honest living by exposing a lifelong scamming crook.

Mr. Rule, you have such a finely developed sense of irony. As your name would imply, you obviously are well versed in the RULE of LAW, which Trump finds so hard to understand. The irony is that so many Americans, living in one of the most free countries in the world, support a man for President who is essentially a con artist, a convicted fraudster, a sexual predator, a dictator sycophant and wannabe. And Mr. Fiore is an artist who offers his work for free--though some of us have the good sense to support his work with donations.
