"Got it in one" is the most Trumpian thing. It's perfect both as a baldfaced lie Trump would utter after EXACTLY such a sequence of errors on live TV, and as an example of something his base would fervently believe even after having watched him flub the first four tries.

Since the recent emergence of the Obamagate ruse, a fabrication designed for the sole purpose of distracting Republican voters from the virus and the recession, someone said (I forget who) that Trump’s real superpower was his complete and utter inability to feel shame. Seems about right.

This new Trump who's so dumb he's kind of vulnerable is different from the usual gangster character in these scenes, who may be ignorant but has a lot of earned self-confidence.

The linked review of The Dictators Grow Girl Crazy is the best rock review I've ever read. It reads like fiction.

Fancy going down in history as the Russian mafia's useful idiot. And yeah, Obamagate; so spurious, so malicious, so Drumpf.

You outdid yourself with this one, Roy. Manitoba and BOC references, just icing on the cake.

Why would you say "Sir" to someone you own?

Because Donnie needs flattery. He's addicted to it.
