Since former President Trump's recent claim that a 'superhero' was needed to save America, the price of kryptonite rocketed.

In case you are not aware, kryptonite is the only substance known to threaten Superman's powers so the Democrats are trying to buy up as much as they can in order to have an antidote to Trump.

Unfortunately, the only known kryptonite mine on earth is in Russia, and Vladimir Putin has already told the West that all supplies of the rock will be restricted while sanctions apply due to the war in Ukraine.

President Xi of China has already indicated that China will buy as much kryptonite that Russia can supply as part of their 'Belt and Braces' initiative.

Red MAGA underpants are also flying off the shelves as Trump supporters rush to complement their MAGA caps with matching Y-fronts worn over their trousers.
