"TRUMP: Bet you hear that a lot."

Love that line.

Anyway:

Brilliant piece, Maestro. You've outdone yourself on this one.

Gotta admire you, Roy, for creating parody where the real-life actual events read like parody. The excerpts I've read from Grisham's book are just, well, . . . consider Trump calling her from Air Force One to tell her all about his dick after Stormy Daniels characterized the presidential penis as a shrunken mushroom on national TV.

I have to reply to myself--that really happened! A porn star went on national TV and talked about having unwanted sex with Donald Trump, and then went on to describe the president's dick on national TV! That's something that actually happened!

And now we learn that Trump got his press secretary on the phone to talk about his dick! Did he expect her to issue an immediate release about it? "Today, we've slipped something extra into your briefs . . ." she might have told reporters. Maybe Trump wanted her to include a picture of his dick--perhaps Photoshopped, perhaps simply touched up with a Sharpie.

I can picture it as a very special #PsakiBomb.

His dick is one of his very few claims that he can prove easily. Just shows what a complaint liar and fraud he is that he can’t put the lie to the claims…

That was worth the whole year’s subscription cost! Great job Roy!

It took me until now to get up the nerve to read it. Because WTAF is any of this, and why don't they all just get together and put out a single book called "I Didn't Care Enough To Quit".

This is the best thing ever Roy. The best. Ever.

No doubt practically every day in the Trump White House there was an episode featuring Trump lumbering around in a white hot Charles Foster Kane style rage.

I never had a reason to much like "Mame" until today.

Unfortunately for the country there was never a J.J. Gettys going, "You're gonna need more than one lesson--and you're gonna *get* more than one lesson."

I bet Trump never gagged on the silver spoon.

How can anyone be soothed by listening to “Cats”? Now, “The Fantasticks,” that’s soothing: “Try to remember / You lost in November / And Joseph Biden has the White House…”

I imagine TS Eliot throwing up in some dark afterlife on the Reprise of "Memories"...

Likewise.

TS Eliot! So conservative he had to move to England.

Now, what are the odds of him being a #MAGAt and proud to have a song inspired by his (albeit lesser) work honored by Killer Donnie?

Holy shit: that last is to the tune of "Mame", no?

...and I wish I didn't think TFG actually had a clue about "Roar of the Greasepaint. Anthony Newley."

But it fits his timeline.

Ha ha, the link just before tips it. Maybe I should put "to the tune of" like in Mad magazine!

At first I thought the tunnel and water was to kill immigrants. I'm so naive!

Meanwhile, this is brilliant. Fun Fact: Apparently them who knows say that Lloyd Webber basically copped Memory from Puccini. So it's perfect that it's TFG's favorite. Game recognizes game, thief-wise.
