Donald Trump’s covfefe typo took over the internet for several surreal hours on Wednesday, but as blissful as it was to have a brief distraction from the usual political chaos, Full Frontal’s Samantha Bee is here to bring us back to reality. “We were like passengers on the Titanic who decided to say ‘Fuck it!’ and rock out to the band,” she said, noting that there were plenty of other disasters to focus on as Trump returned from his trip abroad.
Bee saw some eerie parallels between Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia and the dystopian Mad Max: Fury Road—although Toby Keith only wishes his guitar was as cool as the Doof Warrior’s electric flamethrower version. From there, she went from Fury Road to actual fury, as Trump spent the European leg of his trip dodging questions about son-in-law Jared Kushner, who is reportedly a focus of the FBI’s Russia investigation. “We can’t assume Jared knowingly broke the law,” pointed out Bee. “It’s possible the Russians planted this story to screw with us. It’s also possible that the person POTUS trusts with negotiating Mideast peace, reforming the criminal justice system, solving the opioid epidemic, advising the commander in chief, and reinventing the entire government is just a complete fucking idiot.”
Honestly, we would have expected better from Silt.
