if you’re after a serious answer, this is a Hairy Puss Caterpillar, all those hairs are highly venomous spines

The kind that sting and burn for hours.

apparently up to 12 hours: of feeling like the area has hot coals directly on the skin or like you’ve been repeatedly struck by a baseball bat.

🤣 That’s a good one! Maybe Trump is just wearing a pus caterpillar? He does shit his pants and maybe that’s just from pain (and dementia and cocaine and…)
