Trump reminds me more and more of the Groucho Marx character Otis P. Driftwood
in "A Night at the Opera" (1935), a rollicking, desperately needed comedy during the
height of the Great Depression.
Driftwood: This contract begins herewith "The party of the first part shall hereinafter be known as the party of the first part...."
Romanelli (played by brother Chico): No, no, I uh-no lik-uh that one.... (proceeds to tear up that part of the contract!)
Driftwood: Ahemm, "To wit, hereinafter, all parties therein shall....
Romanelli: Uh-uh, boss, I no lik-uh that one either....
And this hysterical routine keeps going on from there.
How similar to President Trump:
Drone aide: Ahemm, Mr. President, the Constitution most emphatically states..
Trump: Naaah, don't like that one, just get rid of it.....
Aide: But, uh, Mr. President, the Social Security Act, Citizens Panel, Civilians Board....
Trump: Fuhgettabout it, we don't need it.
etc... ad nauseum
