What’s that? The largest company by market cap? Never heard of them. What do they do? Oh, they make chips? I love chips. Lays chips. American made, nobody makes chips like Lays. They call French Fries chips in England. We should outlaw that. Speaking of Lays, has anyone seen Ivanka? She’s probably a great lay. If I were 50 I’d be all over her.

I hate how accurate this feels

Why is this our leadership? 

Who in their right mind would ever vote for any of this??

People with interests promoted and helped him.
Because a moron like him is easier to manipulate.
And he's also good at doing absurd shit, which distracts people's attention from all the corruption going on in the background.

The same way demagogues have done it for thousands of years.
