The Death Of Us All

Back in 2018, 45* got together with Emmanuel Macron at the White House and they planted a tree to symbolize the partnership between the US and France, and also as a token of friendship between the two leaders.


The French president offered the young oak to Trump on the occasion of a state visit to Washington in 2018, and the two shoveled dirt around it under the watchful eyes of their wives -- and cameras from around the world.

It was a symbolic gesture: the tree came from a northern French forest where 2,000 US Marines died during the First World War.

But a few days later, the tree was nowhere to be seen, having disappeared into quarantine.

"It is a quarantine which is mandatory for any living organism imported into the US," Gerard Araud, then the French ambassador to America, wrote on Twitter, adding that it would be replanted later.

But it was never replanted: the tree died during its quarantine, the diplomatic source said.
 So let's see if we can torture this into an analogy.

 The tree immigrates to the US.

 It's put in a concentration camp for a while to make sure its OK for this alien to be here.

 And while in custody, it dies - like everything that Trump touches.

 Questions?
