"Miles Gloriosus" -- always loved that phrase. So many gold nuggets here. Like "Citizen Samsa." I think Jared looks sorta like Serena in The Handmaid's Tale. Wonderful piece, Mr. Carson.

She seems so much meaner and more clueless than even Mother Teresa.

What puzzled you about the Melania joke? It's everything she isn't in one trifecta.
