So I thought it deserved its own post and not just added to his joking monologue. Trevor really does get U.S. politics better than most people - and he's only been here since 2011 - smart (and funny) guy!

He was really spot on and nailed Trump on one of his most vile techniques that he uses to convert people to his side. I hate Trump more and more every single day. He is the most loathsome person on the face of the earth.

Thanks for posting Rhiannon!
