Easy mistake, they're like right next to each other
And they both starts with A.
He’s so old, why do they make him run.
By now this has to qualify as elder abuse.
Slaps trump, this model works best when you give it some abuse.
Conservatives already love abusing children; why should their voting base be safe?
They spent years and millions of dollars trying to stop him. But the pull of millions of idiot racists was too strong for them to overcome
It's the only way he stays out of prison
NYT pitch bot:

It's kind of sad that I already envision the Trump-acolyte/Fox News spin on this:
Trump expertly realizes the potential for Alaska to bring America the wealth and prosperity the likes seen in Middle East oil country, while simultaneously slamming Biden for his disastrous and cowardly military withdrawal. What an artful genius!
