🤨 🤔 🤷‍♀️

Domes would totally protect us from all of of the government drones that have been flying around for the past couple hundred million years or so. Also turbines and cats. I like cats.

The world is only 2024 years old. Read a colander, maroon!

What about some kind of curtain? Make it with something strong like iron?

This is not The Simpsons Movie nor Crysis 3.

Dumb "Dome" Donny... an entire book of nicknames is waiting to be published.

Ok Davros, calm yer tits before you go suggesting we genetically mutate our whole race into a bunch of hateful squids in tin cans trying to EXTERMINATE the rest of the universe. 😒

"We’re going to have the greatest dome ever," he continued.

I swear, this guy talks like a seven-year-old child. Guess that's what his supporters understand.

My planned d&d setting that took place in a country on the brink of invasion that turns to a magical dome for protection and the fallout from the total isolation from that decision feels a lot less fun now.

And voting Democrat protects us from Trump's neurosyphilis!

Giant dome over Mar a lago, his TV room in the White House, and the nearest McDonalds. That's what he means.

Simpson's did it.

This looser did not even manage to build a wall at the Mexican border (and failed to make the Mexicans pay for it). And now he wants to build a f-ing dome?

Imagine thinking the U.S. doesn’t already have one hell of an anti-missile defense system. No one has launched a rocket at the U.S., but if they did, that shit would absolutely get intercepted

An artistic representation of the concept, courtesy of the Simpsons

As an added bonus, it should solve climate change concerns as well.

Show the video, not this voiceover bollocks

"From a Hostile Source"? Like who for example? Most likely places to launch nukes are North Korea or Russia (his buddies), even then they wouldn't risk losing their own power, so I'm assuming he's talking about China, because I'm sure he'd never badmouth his best friends 4ever club of dictators. I'm sure he even looks up to Xi as well, but he needs some kind of bogeyman to get his base riled up over.

Maybe if Trump is placed outside of said dome.

What a tool.
