I guess out of those three, it’s got to be me (You know, like a witch hunt)

July 2022

“Former President Donald Trump over the weekend attended a conservative conference in Tampa, Florida, where he repeated a story to the crowd about a friend who once referred to him as ‘the most persecuted person in American history.’ Trump’s speeches often have him whining incessantly about how he’s being treated or repeating some weird lie an imaginary friend supposedly told him. I like the idea that this never occurred to Trump until a friend suggested it. Is this where he gets all his ideas? ‘[imitating Trump friend] You know, Donald, I was thinking, your situation kind of reminds me of — well, the Salem witch trials. It’s almost like it’s a hunt — for witches, Donald. You know, like a witch hunt.’” —Seth Meyers

“He just sat back and he thought about it and he came to the conclusion that, yes, his friend was right. I’m sure he was just sitting in his study with a pipe and smoking jacket surrounded by walls of books, comparing himself to other historical examples famous persecuted Americans. ‘[imitating Trump] Let’s see. There’s me, there’s Rosa Parks, there’s Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter. I guess out of those three, it’s got to be me — if it’s those three.” —Seth Meyers
