Donald, Michael and A Dinner Party

That one night

You made everything alright

So raw, so right, all night, alright

Oh, yeah

 

     I read a comment on a Facebook post that says Donald Trump is basically Michael Scott from The Office. It makes sense, because the two men, according to their critics, are both arrogant and have gigantic sense of self-importance. That they are both self-professed geniuses (but are actually idiots, childlike, immature, and incompetent managers) and think they know about everything and are better than everyone else.

     Trump repeatedly says that he is going to lower drug prices by 500, 600 percent while Scott says he is not superstitious but just a little stitious.

     Both suffer from pathological need to be liked and admired.

     Doctors think these two men suffer from malignant narcissism and histrionic personality disorder (and also dementia for Trump.)

     But according to his critics, Trump is much worse than Scott, and actually one of the most horrible human beings in the world. Unlike Trump, Scott is not a convicted sex offender. He’s not accused of being a pedophile or a child rapist. He’s not accused of grifting and making illegal money from his work, and he is  real funny and actually sort of lovable. And he often shows genuine concern for his subordinates, whom he calls family.

    Finally, I was able to watch Dinner Party (season 4, episode 13 of The Office), which according to lots of fans, is the best, the funniest, and most cringe-worthy episode of the series. And they’re probably right, I almost fell twice off my chair from laughing too much.
