Possibly more delusionally menacing than comedic: (from Mar. 2019 interview) “I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.” ---

Trump + Kanye West often yielded good comedy. Two megalomaniac bullshitters each too stupid to see through the other. My favorite was when Kanye sincerely proposed a replacement for Air Force One based on some fictional rendering he saw online: > **[WTF Is an iPlane?](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/iplane-trump-kanye-trump-737122/)** > > "This is what our president should be flying in," Kanye West told Donald Trump at the White House yesterday. But what is it? > “I brought a GIF with me right here,” West said, sitting across from Trump in the Oval Office, surrounded by reporters. After he unlocked his iPhoneX with the passcode “000000,” [West pulled up an image of the hypothetical plane](https://www.businessinsider.com/kanye-west-wants-apple-to-build-an-iplane-for-trump-to-replace-air-force-one-2018-10). “This right here is the iPlane 1. It’s a hydrogen-powered airplane, and this is what our president should be flying in. We’re going to have Apple, an American company, work on this plane… This is our president. He has to be the freshest, the flyest — the flyest planes, the best factories.” ---

President Trump - “But if you did manage your forest, and if you removed all of that really dry and just — it’s like — “explosive” is the only word. You drop a cigarette on it, you come back a half hour later, and you have a forest fire” So, here’s a crazy idea. People, don’t light cigarettes in the woods.
