Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

god it was such dreck, my folks watched it.

remember after trump got elected when liberals were reading the book to understand what happened

that fucking pearl clutching was the worst.

its pretty funny that his deep insight to the culture was due to visiting his poor relatives who he hated when he was a kid

My insight is that Glenn Close is a terrible actress.

Glenn Close is a trashy actress who gets confused for a proper actress because she's got one of those Streep/Barkin faces. Used properly (The Shield, Damages, Fatal Attraction), she's great.

And Dangerous Liaisons, watched, again, on a plane last Friday and still fun.

^ Yes, I was gonna say that, but you did first. Malkovich and Close got to 'villain up' in that one and tore into it with happy abandon.

Yeah, I remembered that one as soon as I pushed the button.

Glenn Closer to Fine

I'm Glenning Closer to My Home

I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be Glenn Close to me

Don't Glenn so
Don't Glenn so
Don't Glenn so Close to me

I was watching The Wife (still haven't finished it...) and I was imagining her playing The Joker. In the movie Joker.

(i'm definitely a fan. she's pretty fearless and fearless people fail a lot. but she's always kinda fun to watch.)

Glenn Gary Glenn Close

Coffee is for close

Don(ald Trump)'n'Glenn (Close)

Did they ever meet her?

Well, yeah.

DON: I used to see Glenn at the usual Hollywood parties -- Elton's thing, David's thing. She struck me as a woman of extraordinary grace and delicacy, a true lady.

GHOST OF GLENN: If she's named after me, there's nothing graceful and delicate 'bout her!

DON: Well, yeah.

I never read HBE or saw the movie but the couple that owned the agency I used to work for recommended it which was enough for me to stay far away

lol

mentioned it recently but when a c-suite guy was speaking to a meeting I was in and he kept mentioning Friedman’s “The World is Flat” glowingly (a couple years after it’s release), I kept thinking he wasn’t long for that job

and, amazingly, he was not

employers mentioning airport bestsellers never bodes well

Glenn Close is also really, really posh?

Close Spice

Anyway, remember that time Trump went to Cafe Versailles and said "food for everyone"?

Yeah, he left without paying for anything.

Because of COURSE he did.

(and poster mh TOTALLY called it)

*raises hand*

He's gonna duck out and not pay for a thing.

― but also fuck you (unperson), Tuesday, June 13, 2023 8:46 PM (two days ago)

I mean, every last person in this thread and anywhere in the world called it, whether they said it aloud or not

he just meant everyone was at a place where food was available

sorry unperson!

Yep, just wanted to pass along the completely unsurprising confirmation of what we all already knew.

stop the steal

technically the article says he didn't actually order anything, as opposed to ordering food and dashing on the check

i.e., said "Food for everybody!" as a bullshit photo op, then said "lol nah" and his entourage left

Maybe he was just commenting on the quantity of food. "There is enough food for everyone!"

"I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon! jk, we're just gonna invade Iraq again."

He loves the validation for knowing things about the common man. Yelled "Everyone poops!" when they took him past the restrooms.

"I know what this place is for!" Yes, Donald.

He may not have wanted to pay on realizing how shitty the food is.

"Everybody poops! that's you...not me."

i could see don eating a cuban sandwich. with extra catsup.

"I am pooping right now, in solidarity with the common man! Well, symbolically solid, at least ... "

Donald would order a Cuban sandwich on a poppy seed bun

he just meant everyone was at a place where food was available

lol

Hahaha

You should hear him at the bank

Money for everyone!

Little known fact is that Oprah was actually expressing surprise that everyone in her audience also got a car, the show's lawyers were deeply concerned with the lack of upward inflection in her voice, as she intended to say "you get a car? you get a car? and you get a car?"

As anyone with a modicum of curiosity about game shows will tell you, things you receive in this way are taxed as if they were income.

When you give someone a new car, or a trip to Tahiti, you also give them a tax bill that might be about 30% of the value of said item.

Here's a new $40,000 car! Enjoy driving it to a place where you can sell a kidney, because you are now on the hook to pay $12,000 in taxes on your new car.

u can just sell the car tho

Yeah, I remember it being pretty common knowledge that the winners of the Price is Right showcases mostly put that stuff on the market right after. Except for those trips to Tahiti maybe? Do they really tax things like that?
