Warner Bros.' feature film CASABLANCA, often voted the best flick ever . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . was most notable for its warning to American men NOT to fall for double-dealing, duplicitous, back-stabbing, false, two-timing, fickle, untrue, flighty foreign chicks. By and large, CASABLANCA was successful in its Messaging, as the French-accented Jackie Kennedy was the closest brush that Americans had from 1942 until this past Friday with the Terrifying Prospect of having a Foreign First Lady NOT fully vetted by anyone given the run of Our People's White House. However, by 1995 Doonesbury Comic Strip Artist Gary Trudeau had publicized National Buffoon Donald J. Rump's "Run for the Presidency" so widely that Warner Bros. felt it incumbent to bring their Looney Tunes Animated Shorts Seers division out of mothballs to remake their iconic World War Two feature as a brief cartoon warning America even more explicitly of Rump's Loose Cannon Proclivities. Casting Penelope Pussywillow as Femme Fatale Ilsa ("Kitty" here, or the future Melancholia Rump, in Real Life) and Bugs Bunny as CARROTBLANCA's failing casino owner Rick (this is Bugs' ONLY portrayal of Rump himself, a sorry task usually relegated to Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Pepe LePew, Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety Bird, Taz, Bosko, Buddy, Egghead, or Yosemite Sam) Warner warns that if Ilsa bails out on Victor (Sylvester Cat here) in favor of Rick, then Putin will gain America's nuclear access codes from Melancholia. A word to the wise: Better stock up ASAP on those Haz-Mat anti-radiation protective suits (like the home invaders wear in E.T.) for EACH member of you family!
