He never disappoints.
That’s what we in my family say when Trump says or does yet another in his endless supply of horrific things. You just know it’s coming, and then he delivers, often because given his mental illnesses, he seems unable to help himself.
I think the phrase is also used by others, but we originally got it from Downton Abbey, of all places:
Thomas Barrow: Ah, there'll be a war all right - it's time to prepare for it.
Anna Smith: The country, do you mean?
Thomas Barrow: No, me.
John Bates: [to Thomas] You never disappoint.
It seems particularly apropos, given the many ways Trump has shown himself to be a war profiteer, both figuratively and literally.
