Donald ("Growing up rich was rough. Like storming the beach at Omaha"
Trump is saying: "The media got it all wrong! . . . . When I said there would be riots in the streets if I wasn't nominated at the Republican convention, they reported I was making a threat. . . . What a bunch of liars!!!! . . . Damn liars, if you don't mind my language! . . . It wasn't a threat. . . . It was a promise!!!"

I just broke 700! Click on my little picture/logo/whatever to see the entire.
The rules I give myself: each CAPTION has to be as well written as possible, short enough to stay funny, yet long enough to provide context for understanding by someone a year or more after the posting, etc. From the word choice to the phrasing to the whole with the picture (which is hand-picked for effectiveness), CAPTIONing has proved a good writing exercise.
Actually I was CAPTIONing heavily back in the Bush years, but I don't know how to find and add them. There's probably 2000 in all.
These days Underpants and Johonny and several others like Randome will often add very good CAPTIONs, but back in the day there were 5-6 of us posting original pictures with CAPTIONs and then CAPTIONing each others' posted pictures. It was a small DU community and very much fun (esp. CAPTIONing Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al.) We felt as though we were writing a comic strip to leaven DU's news orientation.
We have also often tried to point out statements and attitudes by these jokers which may have gone unnoticed.
I hope DUers have enjoyed.

Donald ("Iago is my favorite Shakespearean character" Trump is saying: "And then they accuse me of fomenting violence. Nonsense! . . . It's just when someone gets in who is obviously not with us, and doesn't look like us, or talk like us, and is probably planning of doing something wrong. . . . Well, I say, 'Take him out before he can do anything' and 'Take him out anyway you can.' . . . And if somebody's milk gets spilled or cookies get crumbled. . . Well, maybe he won't come back again. . . . But of course I'm totally against violence."

Jeffrey ("My mind is all road-bump" Lord is saying: "Look, the cause of the violence is the left wing, period! That bozo wouldn't have been punched if he hadn't been there. . . . How can anyone blame it on Trump or Trump's rhetoric? . . . It doesn't make sense. . . Just like God never would have given us targets if He didn't mean for us to blast the heck out of them. . . . See? . . . It's like divinely willed."

In fact, why don't we all raise our right hands right now and . . ."

All you will remember is this moment and your pledge with its life-or-death importance, a significance you have never previously imagined: Whenever you hear my last name you will get heartily aroused, your adoration will be boundless, you will beg just to be in my vicinity and joyously plead to do whatever I say, even when I tell you to give me all your money. . . . (And I want you to know I'll appreciate it. I really will.) . . . Now, when I clap my hands. . . ."
