Manga panel 1 of 5, Week 121 “Only One Thing”: He comes at last to the drowned island and tosses paper towels into the crowd like a king scattering coin. The image travels farther than the aid ever will.
HE COMES AT LAST TO THE DROWNED ISLAND AND TOSSES PAPER TOWELS INTO THE CROWD LIKE A KING SCATTERING COIN. THE IMAGE TRAVELS FARTHER THAN THE AID EVER WILL.
I am so proud of our great Country. God bless America!
Manga panel 2 of 5, Week 121 “Only One Thing”: In the desert city's hospital he goes bed to bed among the survivors of the massacre — police, doctors, the wounded — and calls them unforgettable.
So wonderful to be in Las Vegas yesterday and meet with people…
Manga panel 3 of 5, Week 121 “Only One Thing”: The loyal second walks out of the football stadium on cue the moment the players kneel — a protest of a protest, staged to the minute.
I asked @VP Pence to leave stadium if any players kneeled, disrespecting our country. I am proud of him and @SecondLady Karen.
Manga panel 4 of 5, Week 121 “Only One Thing”: A retiring senator of his own party turns on him openly now, and he looms over the empty desk in the dark chamber with an answer of contempt: a mocking tally of one deal.

Manga panel 5 of 5, Week 121 “Only One Thing”: Twenty-five years of talk, he says, made fools of every negotiator. Sorry, but only one thing will work — and he watches the fleet turn its bows west.

This week in the saga

The week of gestures. On the drowned island he tosses paper towels into the crowd like a king scattering coin — the image travels farther than the aid. In the desert city's hospital he clasps the hands of the massacre's survivors. The loyal second stages a walkout at a football game, timed to the minute; a retiring senator of his own party gets an empty chair and a mocking tally. And over the Pacific, under a wall of storm, he declares that after twenty-five years of talk only one thing will work.
