A man whispers into another man's ear, reminiscent of the famous George W Bush image

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.

Sometimes you just gotta zoom in and enjoy life! What’s in front of you is tomorrow you’s problem. Enjoy the now!

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

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

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.

That's not how you spell hamberder.

First time I’ve seen GAGA

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

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

I like how this comment explains part of the joke.

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

I'm just happy to be here

[–] The_Real_Moose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

I am here for the AI transcript of images. What a magical time to be alive.
