It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, Day 1: Gifts for Donald Trump

As we noted over the weekend, we're going to put the Christmas poetry aside for a year or two, and do a little something different to commemorate the holiday season. This week, it will be gifts for various political figures, as recommended by the readership.

Note that we think of this as something like an advent calendar; something short and sweet to contribute just a little bit to getting folks into the holiday mood. So, the list of responses will be much briefer than we do with, say, the Question of the Week on Saturdays. And with that out of the way, here are half a dozen reader-recommended gifts for Donald Trump this holiday season:

• M.G.K. in Toronto, ON, Canada: A conscience.
  
  
• A.H. in Espoo, Finland: Am I hinting at something here?
  
  
  
  
• J.A. in Austin, TX: I'm working blue, apparently:
  
  
  
  
• J.S. in Seattle, WA: A 4-year supply of super-absorbent paper towels to clean up all the messes that he makes for American democracy.
  
  
• K.P. in San Jose, CA: I hope he gets... exactly what he has coming to him.
  
  
• R.B. in Santa Monica, CA: This retails for about twenty bucks at Amazon:
  
  
  
  It's perfect. Trump clearly loves cheap rugs, particularly in colors that do not exist in nature.

If you have suggestions for the other four folks this week—Kamala Harris, J.D. Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) or Joe Biden—please send them to comments@electoral-vote.com. Make sure to include your initials and city, and to make clear whom you are gifting. (Z)
