I’d love to sic Susie on him.
Shouldn’t it be “Curb Your Trumpthusiam”?
When he called him “Mr. President” in the beginning it hit me: this guy really is you guys’ president, isn’t he? And he has to be afforded the respect of the office as if he was the real deal, doesn’t he? Sorry, I know that intellectually of course but I still haven’t internalised it.
This guy sits at the Resolute Desk. In the Oval Office. In the White House. Where Washington and Lincoln and Roosevelt and Obama sat.* For real. And he will forever be in that lineage of people.
*I am aware that the desk is probably younger than Washington but I’m not gonna google it right now, so don’t @ me
I think Trump is funny enough by himself. If he were a comedian I would laugh but now I’m just stunned.
I’m tired of the “mandatory” courtesy to him. He is an idiot and a dangerous idiot, and the sooner we start treating him that way the better.
Blessed are the cheesemakers
As for “Florida [deaths] are going down”:
We all knew Trump was lying and he knew he was lying at the point when he qualified his statement with "yeah :sidelook: It's going-- It leveled out and it's going down, that's my report as of yesterday."
Trump saw an opening. His brain flashed: “Swan doesn’t have perfect information/recall and, even if he does, I can claim access to preferred knowledge.” It was just another version of “people are saying.”
Swan needed to do a Curb Your Enthusiasm stare-down: “Are you sure, Mr. President?”
