This new poster seems extremely not mad. In fact, I'd venture to suggest he's actually laughing.

Not really. It's stating the obvious but the obvious continues to bear when swathes of Americans still back Trump.
You'd get better, more informed and coherent answers interviewing a monkey. But it goes to show again and again that it does not matter. Trump might as well be an actual monkey, or answer every question with a loud fart: 80+ percent of Republicans still back him.
Good luck USA etc

i dunno, he's like "THEY are supposed to be the grownup experts, and WE are the stenographer muses, provoking them to be their best selves! what in the world are we to do once that illusion falls apart and it becomes plain that we are only useful insofar as we further their interests?" like man - that's how it's always been

"THEY are supposed to be the grownup experts
I didn't read it so much this way as "THEY are supposed to have some rudimentary grasp of the subjects that are absolutely central to doing their job and some definable thoughts in their heads, even if they are paper thin, and it is rather shocking that the POTUS's head is full of nothing but mush and putrid garbage."

Empire City, a documentary film from 1985, is now streaming for rental on Vimeo.
While it was originally meant to contrast 1980s New York with the "golden age" from 1830 - 1930, it provides a rare and fascinating glimpse of the city at the very moment it shifted fully from the socially progressive era and into the Neoliberal Age of radical free-market economics.
Looking back three decades later, we can see the beginning of the glossy, greedy epoch in which we now live.
The film features the creators of today's city, from Donald Trump to Felix Rohatyn and David Rockefeller. In one scene, a young Trump stands with Mayor Ed Koch at a topping-out ceremony for yet another Midtown tower and says, "This mayor has created such a tremendous atmosphere with respect to the city of New York. Eight years ago, I must say, I was embarrassed to say I was in the real estate business in New York. Today, I can honestly say I'm proud of it."
That atmosphere was one that explicitly favored developers over everyday New Yorkers....

on trump's anger-as-management and his triggers
“For Trump, there came a moment where he wanted to re-establish that he was going to do what he was going to do,” said the adviser, who knows both the president and members of the staff. “He let his lawyers know that it’s his job to make decisions and their job to figure out how to implement it.”
