Trump On A Ramp is a toy figure that shuffles slowly down any angled ramp that it's placed on, until it either reaches the bottom or veers off and tumbles over the side.
The walking movement is provided for by a simple gravity action based on the limited swing of the two legs, similar to many other
toy figures. This creates a motion resembling that of passive dynamic walking. (worth looking up if you don't know what it is)
Place your ramp across a variety of gaps and watch as "he" lurches and slithers gingerly down to the end, or with any luck falls off into the sink full of dirty dishes, or even the toilet bowl.
Comes with a simple low angle ramp, but you can place at a steeper, more adventurous incline for increased dramatic effect.
De luxe version supplied with surrounding moat, containing snapping crocodiles with their spring loaded jaws all primed.
Looks like this.....

Great idea. Let's also make the "Joe Biden / George
Soros Sofa Bed" which is a free sofa bed installed in
my living room (because who wouldn't want a free
sofa bed of excellent quality) but the catch is the
sofa bed is owned by some shady offshore bank
which rents out the sofa bed to strangers for their
profit with me having no benefit from it or control
over who is in my house watching tv on and around
the sofa bed at all hours, and if I call the phone
number on the sofa to schedule a removal of the
sofa from my living room (because I was misled
about the terms of the "free" sofa and I don't like
what's going on) then I hear an old man tell me that
he's going to install five more free sofas in my living
room because that's the only thing he remembers
how to do, then he says that I'm a bad person if I
don't want free offshore-bank-owned sofas in every
room of my house, then he hangs up on me. |

Ha - I woudn't worry too much. Putin will do his best to make sure his best pal Trump is re-elected, since he does such a great job of turning America into the laughing stock of the entire world. |
|
| |
I so wanted him to topple over the side of the ramp...so very
much. |
|
| |
Here's a less controversial idea... a "Middle East Bounce
House": a 50 mile tall inflatable structure (bouncy wall)
installed along all national borders of all countries between
Egypt and Russia...a wall which is passable to civilian and
commercial traffic but military vehicles simply bounce off if
they attempt to drive through or fly over. |
|
| |
I, too, want a magic wand. |
|
| |
We will now need an updated version whereas Kamala Harris
sneaks up behind him and shoves him off the ramp. Hahaha,
that's for calling her names you dump truck full of rotting
rabid rancid rats. |
|
| |
I, too, believe everything I see on the glowy triangle. |
|
| |
Wouldn't the upcoming US election make more sense if both the
principals were replaced by their off-siders? |
|
| |
If Pence and Harris were the presidential candidates, then
conservatives could vote for someone who is actually
conservative, and progressives for someone who is actually
progressive. |
|
| |
Trump and Biden are each likely to die of old age before 2024, so it pretty much is that race. |

But the same report stated that China and Iran* want the
opposite, so it's about who is more effective at that
particular game. I don't even understand how suggestions
of foreign attempts at election interference were a
surprise to anyone - I'd be amazed if Russia, and to a
much greater extent the USSR before them had NOT
made attempts to influence elections throughout the
world. We know they try & occasionally succeed in places
like Ukraine & other bordering states. Similarly, NATO
nations work to counter that via 3-letter agencies and
through money/treaty/technology offers. It's as if every
cold war movie/novel and the whole
diplomacy/espionage miasma didn't exist in the public
conscience. The difference now is that Russia isn't the
USSR. It's somewhere close to Italy/Canada in terms of
GDP, they simply can't afford influence through
cultural/technological or even military means any more.
All they have is the bogyman of their nuclear arsenal,
which is degrading constantly. |

China I suspect, is much more capable than the former
USSR. I don't detailed knowledge of the Huawei panic, but
their motivation & capability line up. I know people
personally that have had their laptops accessed while out
of their hotel rooms at conferences in China. |
|
| |
*selective reporting ensured CNN left out China/Iran and
Fox left out Russia, because who wants nuanced
information nowadays? |

Russia is Mexico with nukes. China has the ability and
some think, the
desire to take over the world. I'm not going to die of
shock if the US becomes a vassal state of theirs
eventually. American corporations are already obediently
doing whatever they're told to by their Chinese overlords.
Politicians are as well, and have been for a long time. |
|
| |
Hate to say it, but my country is for sale. Russia has the
same GDP as Texas and can't afford it. China however is in
a position to reign over all of us. |
|
| |
Uhh, which is what a bad person would say. I for one
welcome our new Chinese overlords and will be
useful in assisting with rounding up dissidents for "re-
education". |

Interesting theory. But what would this look like in
practice? (Keeping in mind that countries and
companies can't do things or decide things, only
individual people can.) People produce
goods in exchange for debt, and when the debt
becomes unpayable then assets (land, company
ownership, "lifestyle" changes, etc.) in exchange for
continuing access to goods? Seems complicated. |

Personally I vote for whoever would
build the biggest Mars colony the fastest. |
|
| |
"Elon Musk for President ! " ? |
|
| |
Actually, that makes a lot more sense than any of the other options ... |
|
| |
In total agreement with both of those annotations. |
|
| |
Let's start looking at the big picture. Without a
positive path forward I think mankind sort of
wallows in tribalism and conflict. We’re like a
bored puppy that tears up the furniture. |

The Trump ramp should play yodeling music a la
The Price is Right as it descends, and then a
satisfying scream / car crash at the bottom. |
|
| |
Although I just bunned it, I never had the money to buy specialty ramps for actions figures as a child. Could it not just be a figure which falls over on anything except possibly a ramp? As Seth Meyers has pointed out on 'A Closer Look', Trump habitually stands in an unbalanced way, as if challenging a King Penguin for her egg. |
|
| |
Yes, Rayford. It's what was playing in our heads
anyway. |
|
| |
//Trump habitually stands in an unbalanced way//
because he's spent so much time compensating for
weak pressure showers, and now leans over at an
odd angle. Time spent in a straight jacket will soon
correct his posture....but not too soon. |
|
| |
//unbalanced// stands like a centaur. |
|
| |
It just occurred to me that this could be easily altered to be
"Rump on a Tramp". |
|
| |
I thought this would come in helpful for this lovely Saturday
morning. I'm awaiting Zoom book circle and have a few spare
moments, and this is what I did. |
|
| |
The moments passed. That was all. Now I feel silly. |
