Not nearly as fun as last Season’s South Park [targeting](https://mashable.com/2017/09/14/south-park-alexa-google-home-nsfw-cartman/) Amazon Alexa and Google Home voice assistants. That episode didn’t just get people’s assistants responding in the moment. There was an added alarm and items added to shopping lists.

Any “success” of Trump is inadvertent. Pure dumb luck.

Great video.

I could never get my dogs to watch televised news conferences. ☹
