"Future man has travelled back in time to hunt and kill the great dinosaurs, but one monster fights back... a huge female dinosaur called Old One Eye! Old One Eye spat with hate. The smell of Earl Reagan was in her nostrils -- Reagan was the hunter who stabbed her eye out. One wanted -- revenge! Her pack of Tyrannosaurs came screeching to her side. Old One Eye -- 120 years old -- was their leader. They would follow her -- to the death! Man has called Tyrannosaurs stupid... but they existed for millions of years. Their kitten-sized brains were all they needed..."

DEFINITELY THE FIRST DONALD TRUMP POST I'VE EVER DONE, AND IT REMAINS AM INSTANT CLASSIC!

PIC INFO: Meanwhile in the Oval Office, the then 45th President of these United States of America (now 47th -- OOF!!), indulges himself in some light reading -- Spotlight on a cheeky pin-up of President Donald Trump enjoying the latest issue of the British comics Anthology magazine, "2000 A.D."

Resolution at 2475x3254 -- Artwork by Cliff Robinson & Dylan Teague (colors), published c. summer 2017.

OVERVIEW: "Next week's issue of "2000 AD," the comic that "predicted" Donald Trump's rise to power at least twice, has taken a pot-shot at the president as he continues his attempt at a functioning administration.

Referring not just to Judge Dredd's brand of instant and brutal law enforcement, the back-page pin-up by Cliff Robinson with colours by Dylan Teague also refers to the giant wall built around Mega-City One by mad Chief Judge Cal in the 1978 storyline "The Day The Law Died" (that was built to keep the population IN rather than "bad hombres" OUT, but who knows what'll happen over the next four years?).

The pin-up continues 2000 AD's history of cheeky broadsides at those in power — from PJ Holden's visual reference to the allegations regarding David Cameron and an unlucky porcine beau, to B.L.A.I.R.1 which parodied the superhuman confidence of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, and even the Margaret Thatcher-a-like who was shot on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral in the very first issue."
