“One of the first and most moving speakers, was Kristin Urquiza of Arizona, whose father died of the coronavirus in June. She said, ‘His only pre-existing condition was trusting Donald Trump.’ She said that her father felt ‘betrayed’ by the president at the end of his life. Wow, that was absolutely scathing. And she’s right, believing Donald Trump is truly one of the most harmful things you can do. That fact was true even before Trump was president, just ask Atlantic City, his first two wives, or any graduate of Trump University.” —Trevor Noah
“Trump, of course, did not respond to Michelle Obama’s words well; at an event celebrating the centennial of women’s right to vote, he criticized her speech for being taped instead of live. ‘Not only was it taped,’ he said, ‘but it was taped a long time ago because she had the wrong [coronavirus] deaths.’ Goddamn, that is one of the biggest self-owns I’ve ever seen. Imagine Trump’s logic: ‘A hundred fifty-thousand dead? I’ve killed 20,000 more since then, you idiot!’” —Trevor Noah

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