Dennis Thomas: Kiss King Donald’s ring, then kiss America goodbye

Guess who is coming to California? It’s that orange dough boy with the dead squirrel hat. Yes, it’s King Donald of Trump. It’s an exclusive show just for loyal followers of King Donald, no Hispanic, Islamic or women; be prepared to kiss King Donald’s ring. If you enjoy bombast you will get all you can handle. The “king of Hucksters” will try to put you under his spell.

There hasn’t been anyone like King Donald since P.T. Barnum. He is the No. 1 con artist in America and he will try and con all of you so he can become your next president. So enjoy your “Trump Water” or “Trump Steaks” or your “Make America Great Again” caps. Because if he succeeds we will become the biggest suckers ever! You can probably kiss your USA goodbye.

Dennis Thomas, Modesto
