I haven’t been this frustrated in ages. You know whatever the reference was, he got it completely wrong.

    He went to military school, Ensign Ricky is a pretty common reference to being both unknown and totally expendable.

      Fred Trump and his generation used military school as a way to reform shithead kids before they turned 18. Doesn’t seem to have had much impact on Don so Ensign Ricky may not have stuck. Besides, he was talking about Sidney Powell, and gender is important to him, so he may have avoided the comparison because of the misgendering.

        Honestly I think he’s just an asshole, but not a particularly nuanced or articulate asshole.

        He’s literally Reagan, they even reused that dumb fucking slogan and probably the same puppet string on his bad days.
