The mildly deranged penguin, who is something of an expert on birds-attacking-twits, points out baldly isn’t a very convincing ex-dinosaur: First, teh trum-prat wasn’t bitten in half. Second, teh trum-prat wasn’t swallowed.
She admits swallowing teh trum-prat would leave an exceptionally unpleasant taste, and probably cause a bad case of indigestion, very possibly even food poisoning. The thing to have done, then, is to spit it out and poop on it, perhaps with a bit of added vomit for emphasis, as a warning to others.

After this experience with the eagle, he’ll probably promise to change the country’s national bird if elected.
He might even promise to deport all bald eagles, too.

Probably thought that rug on Trump’s head would make for great nesting material.

@1: I think the thing that looks like a snake is probably part of a set of jesses.
@5: Jesses would limit the ex-dinosaur’s mobility, which might explain why the bird failed to bite the twit in two.

I think you missed the pun that swestfall was making.

But he can totally take on the Jihadists!

Sorry – that should be extremists, not jihadists.

A bald eagle lacking much of its left wing makes an excellent analogy for the United States.
I wish the original could repel bigots as effectively as the metaphor.

That was odd. I’ve had dozens of raptors on the glove and they rarely bite. They grab with their feet and it sucks. Never delt with a bald eagle though, may they bite more often

So close! If the bird had just gone for the jugular he’d be a national hero.

Obviously you never played Baldur’s Gate, or you’d know that the animal companion is supposed to go for the eyes.

Kinda like the Mexican flag, where an eagle takes out a snake.

The poor little birdie must have been hungry. Once he spotted that golden gopher on tRump’s head, instinct clicked in.

Trump ran into a carnivore who doesn’t believe in “professional courtesy”.

For anyone else curious about Uncle Sam’s amputated left wing –

The bird apparently has more sense than his keeper, who likes Trump.

If the symbol of America hates Donald Trump, that’s good enough for me.
