It’s September! Hooray! The kids are back in school and Donald Trump’s reign over the silly season will soon be coming to an end. Finally, we can start to get serious about choosing our next presi—

They better figure out soon that this is a losing strategy.
Oh well. The higher they go, the farther they fall. Amirite?
