Wednesday

Remember the debate with Hillary Clinton in which he paced back and forth behind her during her responses? "Rawr, I'm a scary lion! Pay attention to me!"

Or the time he posed for a picture holding a baseball bat with both hands, giving side-eye to Mike Pence like he'd just masturbated to Al Capone (Robert De Niro, ironically) committing murder in The Untouchables?

But like his grab-and-yank handshake, none of this schoolyard crap is working for the spray-tan pig-man anymore.
