The best part was Kristi Noem, dog killer, having to stand next to him pretending everything was normal. Even with the Botox, you see the terror in her face. She has this look of "WTF am I supposed to do here?" It's amazing.

I am once again thinking about Trump’s zeppelin fleet from the novel TRUMP SKY ALPHA:

scrapped; and those who were not buying into the fleet watched all this from the sidelines until at last they did not, it was the new world-system and it seemed more and more that to deny the way it was, to refuse to play, was to lose, but the money that got you advantages a month ago was no longer enough, it was more, always more to feed the global Trump appa-ratus, and so corporations made extraordinary efforts, each according to its means, some buying out whole ships, and some, in the case of the globally promoted International British Petroleum Trump Sky Day, buying out the entire fleet, which was temporarily rebranded, a BP logo added to the rear stabilizers and onto the US flag itself, BP's logo resting tastefully on the canton, while Trump's face mugged and grimaced and gaped (within three months, offshore drilling rights granted to BP all up and down the coast of California), and it all seemed to work, for a time —for a time everyone was still making money, or most everyone, an
and more, and yet the markets were anxious, they'd be burgeoning for days or weeks, and then they'd stum-ble, the markets would shake for a day or two, there were afternoons they'd lose a trillion, two trillion in value, but soon enough, before a full panic could set in, they were surging again, and the whole time the Trump Sky fleet was going out fully loaded with passengers, the markets in some sense seemed carried on the back of this global network of aircrafts, by Trump Sky itself, Trump joked more than once, that his fleet was recession proof, that that was one sector that would never take a hit, he'd joke with a wild insistent grin that no matter what, they'd fill the zeppelins, and of course there was no recession, he'd add, only unprecedented growth, a galloping, record-breaking market, even if the process was leaving the players shook, even if there was a feeling among the elite getting richer and richer that they still never knew quite where they were, quite what to give, qui
up with the rising prices of the ultra-luxe enhancements found their interests actively impeded, a less profitable week for a given aircraft could send mysterious vibrations throughout a whole country, a rash of bad fortune and destabilizing influences, said country scrambling to increase its purchases, to spend more, and where would it end, many wordered, where could it all end? so that when the first European zeppelin was taken down by terrorists there were those who sighed a bit in relief -an excuse at last to bail-only to find the Trump Organization suing the European Union, threatening sanctions if the EU didn't assume responsibility for rebuilding the zeppelin and settling the lawsuits of the dead and massively compensating for pain and suffering, not only the families of the dead, but the Trump Organization itself, and in the final settlement there were two crafts built in place of the one that had been lost, twice the demands from the Trump Organization, and across the whole sy
gers had to play perfectly the roles of enthusiastic supporters, smiling as they listened, applauding and cheer-ing, a pair of protesters once got on board the Trump Sky aircraft in Sau-di, a cloth sign was unfurled, TRUMP IS BAD FOR THE WORLD, and when they were executed later that year, Trump tweeted, "LYING CNN MAKE IT SOUND LIKE I WANTED THEM KILLED!!! NOT MY LAWS, DIFFERENT COUNTRY!" though later that night he tweeted that he respected dissent as a bedrock principle of America, even where he disagreed, and on board the flights the cheering got louder and more sustained so that there were mini-instructionals on how to preserve your voice for maximal cheering throughout the course of the flight, and extra hot teas were added gratis, or at a low price-they certainly could have charged more® and the clamorous passengers who filled the flights were increasingly good-looking, they were attentive and well groomed, Look at these crowds, Trump would say, beaming, just look at all of you be
