Bart: Well, as Mrs. Krabappel already mentioned, the name of the book that I read was Treasure Island. It's about these pirates, (Looks at the illustrated cover of the book.) pirates with patches over their eyes, (Looks at cover.) and shiny gold teeth, (Looks at cover.) and green birds on their shoulders. Did I mention this book was written (Looks at cover.) by a guy named Robert Louis Stevenson? (Looks at cover.) And published by the good people at McGraw-Hill. So, in conclusion, on the Simpson scale of one to ten--ten being the highest, one being the lowest and five being average--I give this book a nine. (Clears throat) Any questions?
What I always loved about that scene is that when she asks for the name of the pirate and he runs through some in his head, it does include the right answer (such is the cultural influence of Treasure Island) but he gets unlucky in the one he picks.
That's Trump his entire life, Trump expects to charm everyone and skate through conversations with zero situational awareness. Trump's interview after his first 100 days is a great example of this. John Dickerson relays a metaphor from W, that "the reason the Oval Office is round, is that there are no corners to hide in." Trump gets completely lost in the intellectual powerhouse that was George W Bush and immediately begins to describe the physical features of the room. Dickerson explains to Trump that we intention was everything comes back to the president and Trump shrugs everything off. It's only comparable to if you'd stripped every redeemable quality from Michael Scott.
Dickerson basically says, "it's not true, why would you say something that you know isn't true?"
And Trump does the I can raise my hand at the waste motion, says goodbye and sits down at his desk...to stare at one sheet of paper. Then acts surprised Dickerson hasn't left. It's so comically over the top
to be fair, Trump openly asked Russia for support and assistance undermining the election
at that point the DOJ should open an investigation w the FBI. if
I like Anne Hathaway but if she publicly requested help from China to get he elected president, then she should be investigated.
