The Daily Show: Trump Brings U.S. to Brink of War with Iran

14. Which makes Trump the perfect president for scheming neo-cons

He reminds me of something else from the late '70s: Chauncey the Gardener from Being There (except without any of the genteel virtues Chauncey at least had).

Cheeto's a blank slate, whose greed and degeneracy is exceeded only by his abject ignorance of the world around him. He's also, of course, an egomaniac and all-around touchy bastard.

Perfect for sly, manipulative weasels like John "new Pearl Harbor" Bolton.

All they have to do is egg him on, like a coach giving his dim-witted but imposing full-back a half-time pep talk.

"You know what they call you, son? Dumb ox! You're not gonna let those jerks get away with that are you?"

"No, sir!!! Errrrgh!"

Plus, in this case, all they'd have to do is remind him how "good this would be for your re-election!"

"And," Jared would chime in, "our bank accounts!"
