“Trump dances like a sexy pile of cheese in his Take on Me-style video

The US president, flickering like an alt-right Morten Harket, appears like a lovable savant

A pencil drawing of Donald Trump emerges from the white void. He is fully dressed, in his trademark suit and red crotch cloth (his tie), though, given what the film-makers are going for here, I feel as if he should be wearing nothing but a short belly top, like Winnie-the-Pooh.

Indeed, we learn over the course of the 40-second animation retweeted by the president that Trump, flickering in and out of pencilled reality like an alt-right Morten Harket, is a lovable and inspiring savant.

"Don't get me wrong. There are bright spots: separating screaming children from their mothers,

...alienating all of our long-term allies, the destruction of whole government agencies designed to protect the well-being of our citizens, increased income for the richest among us and more. But these successes have come despite — not because of — the president’s leadership style, which is impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective.”
