“The most visible and widespread Twitter breach in the company’s history happened yesterday. Twitter on a normal day is Trump’s longest-serving press secretary, and a place where people can share ideas with each other while also getting yelled at by neo-Nazis. But Wednesday was not normal, as unidentified hackers infiltrated the accounts of some of the platform’s most popular users … except Donald Trump. Twitter released a statement confirming the president’s account was not hacked, but how would they know? I mean, this is the same guy who tweets about beans, Iran and the Confederacy in the span of 10 minutes. He pre-hacks himself. The only way you’d know if a hack got Trump is if the spelling is correct.” —Trevor Noah
“Meanwhile, as his re-election campaign flails, Trump demoted his campaign manager, Brad Parscale, this week, though I doubt this would help his sagging poll numbers. If you ask me, this guy’s not the problem – he’s a scapegoat. Donald Trump’s campaign isn’t struggling because of his campaign manager. It’s struggling because Donald Trump is the candidate. So condolences to Brad Parscale, but you should be really proud of yourself, man. Because at this point, getting out of the Trump campaign without getting into prison? That’s an achievement.” —Trevor Noah
“It is almost worse that he is also still part of the campaign team. Think about that: staying on the team when you have been demoted. That’s like your wife leaving you but then saying you are welcome to live with her and her new boyfriend.” —Trevor Noah
“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.”
