Trump is more like the love child of Frank AND a McPoyle. Into incestuous relationships as well as thinking he's great at business. He would have been better off taking up bird law than politics.

Bird law is serious business, not everyone is cut out for it

Well Frank is actually great at business though

Frank is great at 80's style "make noise and shake things up" without actually doing anything. He's the quintessential private equity guy who doesnt do anything but gets to keep all the money. He just lies, cheats, and steals his way to the top.

Lying, cheating, and stealing his way to the top? Reminds me of someone…

They should end each conference with the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme too.

The meme also works because Putin is two feet off the ground and in absolutely no danger if he falls.

All the nuclear threats that everyone throws around as the reason the West needs to surrender Ukraine are absolutely ridiculous. If Ukraine wins, Russia goes back to where it was in 2014- which was a thriving country. It loses nothing.

In a press conference with Trump and Macron at the white house, Trump said the US was financing most of the war in Ukraine, but Macron interrupted to correct him and said Europe actually paid more.

In essence Macron seems to know how to handle Trump and prevent him from making too much concessions to Russia.
