Everything is covered in gold, and all the reporters are so polite (This is my kind of place)

December 2020

“But, from the bottom of my heart, poor Trump, man. New York doesn’t want him, Mar-a-Lago doesn’t want him. The only places that would take him are states that he wants nothing to do with. I mean, if he actually tried to live in the heartland, he’d be on a flight to Saudi Arabia the next day. [imitating Trump] ‘This is my kind of place. Everything is covered in gold, and all the reporters are so polite. How do they enforce that? So great, so cool.’” — Trevor Noah

“It’s just amazing. New Yorkers don’t want him in New York, his neighbors don’t want him at Mar-a-Lago. This is like one of those ironic punishments for a racist on ‘The Twilight Zone’: ‘We do have a hacienda available in Mexico City.’ [imitating Trump] ‘No!’” — Seth Meyers

“He’s going to be our first nomadic ex-president. Remember how everyone made fun of Hillary Clinton for taking a walk in the woods after she lost? Trump’s going to have to live in the woods. Years from now, a group of hikers are going to find him holed up in a cave with a long beard doing rallies for a bunch of pole cats: [as Trump] ‘We love the ferrets, don’t we, folks? Natural allies. But the skunks, how do we feel about the skunks? Not nice. Not nice, the skunks.’” — Seth Meyers

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
