A Historical Dump: Trump, the Septic Tank, and the Art of the Squeal
In the world of political satire, no topic is too “low” to be explored, and our latest comic proves that even a bathroom break can be turned into a high-stakes negotiation. This four-panel strip features Donald Trump taking on a plumbing crisis with the same bravado he brings to an international summit.
The comic plays on Trump’s iconic rhetorical style—the superlatives, the “everyone is talking about it” framing, and the relentless need to negotiate a deal, even with the local septic service.
The Most Valuable Asset
Here’s how this “bigly” situation goes down:
- The Declaration: Sitting on his own personal throne, Trump announces a “historical dump”—a “perfect” event that supposedly has everyone talking.
- The Call to Action: Realizing the scale of the situation, he decides this is a job for the best in the business.
- The Negotiation: He gets the “septic truck man” on the line, but instead of asking for a pump-out, he tries to sell the waste as a valuable commodity. “My poo… you’re gonna want it. It’s the best… very valuable.”
- The Delusion: As the confused septic worker looks on from the driveway, Trump convinces himself that the man “wants my poo” so badly he’s ready to make a deal.
Satire in the Sewers
This strip mocks the idea that everything a public figure touches—or produces—is inherently valuable or historical. By applying the “Art of the Deal” logic to a septic tank, the comic highlights the absurdity of perpetual self-promotion. It’s a messy job, but someone had to satirize it.
A Worthy Investment?
Do you think the septic guy took the deal, or is this one “investment” that’s just going down the drain? Let us know if you think this is Trump’s most “perfect” deal yet!
