Back in the day prankster Dick Tuck drove Nixon crazy.

Some people think it contributed to the paranoia that helped create Watergate. Tuck had Nixon blaming him for all kinds of stuff he never did. Tuck would make up shit just to drive Nixon crazy. Trump is one big juicy target when it comes to political pranks. I hope people make the most of it.

It looks like tRump may have been “Tucked” yesterday! I’m enjoying it ever so much more now!
