Trump (dog)
( )
Trump urinating on Churchill's Epistle, watched by a drunk bear
- ... that Hogarth depicted Trump urinating on Churchill's Epistle?
- ALT1:... that Trump is pugnacious ?
- ALT2:... that Trump has been painted with a wig, and sculpted in terracotta, porcelain and bronze?
- Comment: I was thinking that this might do for 1st April.
I know, needs citations, and I probably need to get a quid pro quo tick or something, and no doubt there is yet further paperwork I will need to fill in since I was here last. Perhaps this might do as a citation, if the picture is not enough by itself. I'll retrofit footnotes later: it is all in the sources.QPQ done and citations added. But let me know if any other paperwork is required.

GTG. New & long enough, usual excellent quality. Hook checks out & might indeed be good for 1 April. I hope this is not the last we see of this editor, who seems to have retired for now. Earwig throws up a couple of sentences with similar basic phrasing, but I think this is ok. QPQ done. Johnbod (talk) 18:44, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
- In all seriousness, running this in addition to the Trump hook (part of a set) we already have for April 1 seriously risks upsetting the applecart. I do have to say, though, that there's potential in
- ALT3 ... that Trump wears a wig?
- But I really think we've got all the Trump we can handle for April 1, 2018. May I suggest you hold this until 2019? We may need the comic relief even more by then. EEng 01:46, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
- Alternatively EEng, we could run this Trump hook and leave the other one for another time. I'm starting to worry that if we run the other one, it's just going to get pulled in five minutes anyway by somebody who doesn't like it. Gatoclass (talk) 15:05, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
- That's not a completely bad idea, but (a) I wonder whether the community's up for ANOTHER discussion on this and (b) there won't be any joke value to the Russia connection once all the indictments have been returned, whereas the wig will always be funny. Any admin pulling the set we already have, given the amount of discussion and multiple admins involved, would be wheel-warring. But let's think about it. EEng 15:56, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
