I have no idea why this man is in the American news cycle so much. I guess "talks a lot of bollocks" is enough these days.
He always looks like he should be dictator of a small South American country. Not a real one, obviously, they'd decorate the nearest tree with him, but the sort of dictator who ends up there through a series of zany mishaps in the kind of shit sitcom that Paramount+ might greenlight. With a really uninspired title as well, like El Presidente.
Because he spent millions on ads for his shitty pillow so everyone who was exposed to ads knew his face. And then he came out as a raging fascist so then he became a controversial commercial celebrity.
I don't think MAGA really view him in high regard, they more or less allow him because Trump loves him. For all non MAGA people, it's medium entertaining how much of a top to bottom train wreck this guy is. I haven't seen a single instance of him in a public space where he doesn't make himself look like a complete fool only to realize he has exposed himself to then try to get out of whatever hole he just dug unsuccessfully, making him look even more foolish. So, you know, an honest and reasonable representative of the average MAGA.
In a field full of clowns He is the king crusty.
If it were a production directed by Armando Iannucci, I'd watch it.
