Donald Trump

Which begs the question . . . “In the inevitable movie about Trump, who plays him?”

I’m thinking John Goodman. Or what’s his name — Wayne Knight from Seinfeld.

Chuck Norris if it's being produced by MAGA

15 days until sentencing isn't it?

Might be put back again on the 16th sadly, hopefully the judge won't buckle but Bragg has already intimidated he won't oppose another delay

Never disrespect ‘The Norris’.

Donald Trump is Henry VIII. There's a new movie coming out "Firebrand" with Jude Law as the monstrous egomaniac king, told though the eyes of his sixth and last wife Catherine Parr. BBC website has a good preview; it shows that both Law and the film's director base their take on Henry partly on what they see in Trump - the abuse of power, a readiness to use violence against those who disagreed with him, how he was physically and emotionally abusive to all his wives, not just the two he murdered, Henry often jamming his fingers into a woman's mouth "whenever he felt like it." For mouth, read pu**y, of course. This revisionist and feminist view of the Tudor tyrant has been around in historical scholarship for quite a while - see Karen Lindsey's Divorced, Beheaded, Survived for example - but it gains added resonance from having a modern political figure similarly bloated in both body and ego to compare it to. Coincidentally last week I watched A Man For All Seasons (1966) again, with Robert Shaw as Henry, and it struck me then how much Trump resembles him. Shaw is astonishing in the scene where he berates Thomas More (Paul Scofield), alternating between wild rage ("No opposition, no opposition, I say!"), paranoid suspicion of those around him, and exaggerated praise of his own many talents - as a musician, in this particular scene. Trump is recognizable at every turn and is only missing the gangrenous leg that Henry dragged around for the last years of his life.

According to scholars like Popok it seems that sentencing will go ahead on the 18th after Merchon's hearing two days before. So potentially another hammer blow to Von Shitzenpants' campaign.

Nope. History includes the failures too. See, eg, Zinoviev letter.

The Zinoviev letter was a great success, surely.

I'm not a fan by any stretch but I thought this interview was quite a good insight into the man. Hopefully Lex gets to interview more politicians and former politicians.

Seems he’s doing lots of YouTube interviews at the moment as mainstream is to hard for him, I hope to god he loses and he just fucks off to jail

Depends which side of the unmasking you stand. History records it as a great forgery.
