This WaPo piece from Dana Milbank points out the many ways in which the Trump Administration has turned into something like a series of Monty Python sketches, and suggests another way to deal with it:
Here at home, Democrats can likewise defeat Trump in his own style. Rather than postponing the State of the Union address, they should:
Leave fake dog poo on the lectern where the germophobic president will speak and put soy sauce in his Diet Coke. Pelosi will greet Trump with a shock ring and a water-squirting lapel pin. Vice President Pence will discover a whoopee cushion when he sits. Republicans will find themselves stuck to their seats with Krazy Glue. Trump will discover that his teleprompter has the lyrics to I Feel Pretty.
Pelosi will hit Pence with a cream pie, and a trap door will open beneath Trump. Retreating, Trump will discover his limousine covered in Post-its and the White House wrapped in toilet paper.
After suffering through a dismal two-year run of The Government That Goes Wrong, this is the showstopper we deserve.

especially, if you include details on the ways Teflon Don ripped off his students. Did you misspell "RUINS" in the OP, when you wrote "runs this country?"
