Christ, what an asshole. I can’t see him understanding **Parasite,** anyway. Or having the ability to read the subtitles. Also, **Sunset Boulevard** seems rather too subtle for him. If he could muster the attention span to sit through an entire movie, it would feature lots of flying glass and topless babes. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > Does he even eat fish? I was of the impression Trump is a burnt-steak and hamberder kind of guy. I’ve read that his usual dinner order is a Big Mac, fries, Diet Coke, and a filet-o-fish sandwich. I think he believes that a small slab of fried white fish with processed cheese and tartar sauce on white bread is health food. ---

Only married for the last time an 8, I guess, looking at her pix over the years as she went under plastic surgery. Melania only sees Trump as a 10 due to a pre-nup and she really can’t open her eyes due to plastic surgery (seriously… look at her younger pix!). AKA playing to his base. They want a plastic Barbie, a country agreeing with them… and welfare. ---
