A newly discovered blind and burrowing amphibian is to be officially named Dermophis donaldtrumpi, in recognition of the US president’s climate change denial.

The name was chosen by the boss of EnviroBuild, a sustainable building materials company, who paid $25,000 (£19,800) at an auction for the right. The small legless creature was found in Panama and EnviroBuild’s Aidan Bell said its ability to bury its head in the ground matched Donald Trump’s approach to global warming.

Trump’s distinctive hair has already led to comparisons to a poisonous furry caterpillar and a golden-plumed pheasant, while a yellow-crowned moth was called Neopalpa donaldtrumpi in 2017.

Climate change is already harming Americans’ lives, from wildfires to floods, and will get worse, according to a US government report published in November. Trump’s response to the report was: “I don’t believe it.”

After the fall of the soviet union the crooks took over. The worst that country produced now own it.

That's the plan in action for America. Crash it down. Carve it up.

If Individual One, whose party controls all three branches, proudly shuts down the government the working with no pay Secret Service should begin calling in sick and enact a work slow down.

If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.

The party that controls all three branches of government can’t even keep it functioning. Individual One shut down the government because he wants Americans to pay for a wall he promised during the campaign would be paid for by Mexico. Putin is pleased. Merry Christmas Suckers!

We have no real Secretary of Defence. We have no real Secretary of State. We have no real White House Chief of Staff. We have no real Attorney General. We have no real Ambassador to the UN. The level of incompetence in our government is astounding. And now the government is shut down. This is beyond belief.

Because he can't read.
