Some things are so horrible that they must be laughed at and ridiculed. Love your comment! Also, love Tolkien! I read his early works to my children. "Smith of Wooten Major" and "Farmer Giles of Ham" I believe. Could be wrong about the titles. I have never seen a movie that even compared to "The Hobbit" or "Lord of the Rings". Too bad trump can't read.

Rowling wrote Harry Potter books. Trump is soooo illiterate. Sad.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Do you suppose, Schumer said, that tRump would be in the clear?

I doubt it, said Burr, and he shed a bitter tear.
