I would absolutely pay for that special. Trump, in a fatter King Lear costume, farting on a throne while his sycophant followers and family prance around in jester attire and laugh and cry like they are trapped in some sort of hell where you must sniff the King’s farts and ask for seconds BUT without any grifty rewards or cabinet positions. Just abuse, ingratitude and mad king farts. It’s not far from the reality we are living.

Political speech is the most protected speech under the First Amendment, especially when that speech is in reference to an elected official. I think it’s fair to say that any president since the 1964 NY Times v. Sullivan decision knows or knew that. Trump has no knowledge of the provisions laid out in Sullivan, and if even an aide tried to inform him of it, he either wasn’t listening, didn’t understand, or can’t remember.
