Sean Spicer: Hey, Scaramucci, where’d ya get the T-shirt? I want one!

They’re not going public with it, in fact, they’re denying the split, but it looks like the bubble has burst on any hopes for a “DonCon,” or “McDonald” bromance between the president and Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — tenuous though the relationship may have been. One side says the other had “excessive” expectations; the other tells himself things are “stronger than ever.” It’s not complicated, it’s just that familiar story — it wasn’t true love after all, just a summer fling:

Anthony Scaramucci: Nevermind that, I wanna hear what Donny did this summer? Tell us, Donny, you get any, ya know, legislation?


KellyAnne Conway: Yeah, Mitchy, did you take anything all the way to the floor?

Trump: Summer Governin’ buildin’ my wall.

McConnell: Summer Governin’ taking roll call.

Trump: Met a crowd, crazy for me!

McConnell: Changed the rules. Gorsuch? Breezy.

Trump/McConnell: Summer days drifting away as we worked to strip out your rights.

ALL: Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Tweet! Revoke rules! Revoke rules!

Trump: Why don’t we shut down parks?

ALL: Revoke more! Revoke more!

Mike Pence: Let’s build state-funded Arks!

ALL: MAGA-badop-op; MAGA-badop-op; MAGA-badop-op ; MAGA-badop-op ...
