Allan, I just wondered, do you really spend all your time on following Donny the Selfkicker? (Over here in the tiny little Kingdom of the The Oranges, this would be a double pun, but I will not try to explain that. For anyone understanding Dutch, look in Wikipedia for ‘Johnny the Selfkicker.) Following Donkydon must be like being a cop with the grueling task of watching child pornography to nail offenders. No, no, I am not suggesting that Tweetydon is a pedophile, I am comparing the two jobs. (If so, you should change your profile and add ‘I follow Don’. Otherwise your profile is fake news.)

It has been a black week for writers of satire. When reality itself becomes overwhelmingly absurd, what can satire do? Copy it? That would be plagiarism. So you had to go back on track and review your mistaken prophecy of Donny’s demise. Nothing else to tell.

And lo and behold, you succeeded. The Final Trumpeclipse will happen much earlier. Very convincing and…..funny as usual. Thank you, you added joy to an already beautiful spring evening.
