When I started watching Tiger King—the hit Netflix series—I was like the rest of you, hooting and howling at the show’s weird and wacky characters.
Don’t laugh too much at these characters, folks. They’re not really all that different from the people you’ve been voting for. Not much different than you and me.
It’s just that Joe seems a little less frightening than Carole. Which is odd, as he’s the one serving a 22-year sentence for hiring a hit man to kill her. Not the other way around.
Joe’s followers are a little more cynical, more pragmatic. Think of the Democratic operatives who worked for Michael Bloomberg’s ill-fated presidential campaign. I doubt they really believed in Bloomberg—but his money was too good to turn down.
OK, so at least Trump’s no polygamist. But he’s played around on every wife he’s ever had—Melania included.
For years, David Letterman and Howard Stern were Trump’s enablers, inviting him on their shows so he could build his brand in front of millions.
