    It’s kind of like Vizzini in that regard. He uses it, but it doesn’t mean what he thinks it means.

      I don’t know why I didn’t draw the Vizzini parallel myself before now; it’s not perfect, but does fit a surprisingly large portion of not just who Trump is, but also how he sees himself.

      But he really wants to be seen as Prince Humperdink AND the six fingered man. And Vance is his Igor.

        Lol agreed, I was worried someone would take it too literal and want a perfect parallel, so I’m glad you saw through that.
