Trump doesn’t really have ways to deal with people other than 1) aggression, 2) con artistry, and 3) sleazy seduction. He cycles through the three almost at random, which is why he struggles to even talk about his own kids without objectifying them.
Or Lear, a powerful idiot who’s desire to be loved and flattered leads to the destruction of his kingdom. In my analogy, all his daughters are Putin? Kids taking freshman English, take note, this could make an excellent topic for a paper if your professor is freewheeling in assigning subjects.
He even tried to kiss Pence once. 😳
It does look like a Sopranos banquet scene at the start.
