The Donald Jar-Jar Trumpster fire of vacuous nonsense:
Kellyanne Conway’s hubby breaks the IntraWebz this morning by tweeting a top trending comment on Trump’s TelePrompter-free failure during a recent Rose Garden disquisition on our National Emergency.
Because it’s golf day 169 of Individual-1’s presidency, and he’s got the “best words”.
George Conway: “Trump looks less like the sinister Emperor Palpatine and more like the hapless Jar Jar Binks.”
Conway’s post on Twitter linked to a Washington Post column by Henry Olsen that lambasted what he called Trump’s ”rambling and disjointed explanation” for why he is declaring a national emergency to fund a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
For Conway, the key quote was when Olsen compared Trump’s incoherent oratory to another maligned politician: Galactic Senate Delegate Jar Jar Binks.
Trump’s critics have long warned that the president was Caesarean at his core, and they will surely raise that point again in opposing his declaration. But that concern now seems overwrought. Even the modern tyrants whom the president too often unctuously praises demonstrate more facility with language and more attention to governing detail than does he. To borrow from popular culture, Trump looks less like the sinister Emperor Palpatine and more like the hapless Jar Jar Binks.
As the theory dictates, it's Jar Jar who gives the sinister Emperor Palpatine his emergency powers and allows him to rise in influence in the first place. Is Jar Jar working for Palpatine? Or is Palpatine just a stooge for the great Sith master, Jar Jar himself? What exactly does George Lucas mean when he says, "Jar Jar is the key to all of this?"

When asked about a deleted scene which supposedly saw Palpatine thank Jar Jar for allowing his ascension to power, Ahmed Best replied; "It was just me and Palpatine walking down the runway, talking about the plans to turn the Empire into what it had turned out to be."
“I’ve got no interest in talking to him,” John Oliver said when asked what he’d say to Trump if he had 20 minutes alone with him. “Interviewing him is pointless.”
The Daily Show alumnus also described why writing about Trump is so much more difficult than writing about President Barack Obama.
“Normally, the job of comedy is to take something substantial and kind of break it down into comedy,” Oliver told Newsweek. “Whereas, when you have the president say something that he doesn’t mean, or things that are objectively false all the time, you end up having to go through a different system where you’re trying to inject meaning into something that he said that’s objectively meaningless. And then [you] justify why you’ve just done that. And then you write a joke.”
“It’s so much vacuous nonsense that you feel like he’s just chumming the water with bullsh*t,” the host added. “One of the first things you need to do is convince someone why something that he’s just said—which does not seem like it’s worth listening to—is worth listening to.”
