From Politics and Prose

If there is one thing that you can give Donald Trump credit for as far as the strength of the American economy, it’s all the jobs that have been created in the comedy industry simply because of The Donald and his crazy narcissistic irresponsible behavior.

George W. Bush, was great for comedy. Bill Clinton, was great for comedy. Ronald Reagan was great for comedy. Jimmy Carter was great for comedy. But they are all minor players as far as their affects on the comedy industry, in comparison to Donald Trump. They would be like the Toledo Mud Hens in comparison to the Detroit Tigers. One is a AAA minor league club, the Tigers are obviously a major league club.

Alec Baldwin is one of the top and most popular comedians in America now. I’ve always seen him as a very funny man and someone who was great with wisecracks before. Very similar to Tom Hanks, but now Baldwin is one of the most popular and visible comedians in America simply because he plays President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live. Which is probably still the most popular comedy show on TV.

Donald Trump is obviously not the most popular man in America. I mean to be the most popular man in America with a 32% approval rating, means most of the country is either in a coma or you have a hell of a lot haters in the country who hates practically everybody. Perhaps the average American suffers from depression and hates everything that they see.

But Donald Trump is probably the most visible American in America, if not the world and when he makes an ass out of himself and generally he doesn’t go a day without doing that, the comedy industry both right and left and generally left, pick up on that and run with it.

And Alec Baldwin has made a new career at literally making fun of and impersonating President Donald Trump. The man should be sending President Trump a Christmas card everyday of the year. Because Trump has been horrible for the country (at least according to his approval ratings) and how he’s seen around the world, but he’s been great for Alec Baldwin and the broader comedy industry.
