Love notes

One more pass at Valentine’s Day from Jimmy Kimmel at www. newsmax.com.

“Have you seen the White House Valentine’s Day cards? The se are cards like the ones kids give out in school, but each of these features a character from the Trump administra­tion.

“We have Dr. Ben Carson: ‘Loving you isn’t brain surgery.’

“Kelly anne Conway :‘ My love for you is as real as the Bowling Green Massacre.’

“Steve Bannon: ‘Will you be mein?’

“Press Secretary Sean Spicer: ‘Help me fake my death, Valentine.’ That’s dark.

“Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Jr.: ‘Love is blind, unlike the trust we run for our father.’

“Vice President Mike Pence: ‘This is a totally heterosexu­al Valentine’s card between a man and a woman.’

“Vlad Putin: ‘ Your love makes you weak.’

“First lady Melania Trump: ‘I almost love you enough to leave New York.’

“And finally President Trump: ‘ I’m building a wall around your heart and making you pay for it.’”
