“His style has rendered him, weirdly, almost comedy-proof. Election
parodies traditionally exaggerate candidates. But Mr. Trump exaggerates
himself — he’s the frilled lizard of politics, inflating his
self-presentation to appear ever larger. Satire exposes candidates’
contradictions and absurdities. But Mr. Trump blows past those, while his
supporters cheer.”




Donald Trump has only been "understood" ---was created by, as that twist
has it----Thomas Pynchon.


(maybe Nathanael West but he's still dead)...


or (maybe a mix tape of Roth's Plot Against America & Sabbath's Theater)
