MISTER PRESIDENT... A SECOND TRUMP MANDATE HAS HIT THE ECONOMY

A smiling orange plane with a red hat flies towards two towers. The left tower is destroyed, the word COVID on it. A second tower stands, with the word NASDAQ on it, and seems to be frowning. A confused building stares from below.

Not a single smartphone in sight.

Just a plane living in the moment.

That’s the thing about stupidity: its suffered most to those surrounding

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 16 points 3 months ago

I'm sorry, but is this comic saying that COVID is a vital sector of our economy?

[-] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago

I think it means that Trump fucked up his response to COVID as much as the stock market is about to get fucked up

Mr. President, I hope you're ready for mouth-watering hamburgers.

I like how one building is called Nasdaq and the other is Covid.

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

I like how this comment explains part of the joke.

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 5 points 3 months ago

I'm just happy to be here

[-] The_Real_Moose@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

It's one of the best parts, but I'm sure you knew I knew that.

[-] Bad@jlai.lu 3 points 3 months ago

Please enjoy each comment equally

I think the confused building is supposed to be 7 WTC, featured heavily in the frothy shouts of your local streetcorner crazies.
