The Donald Trump show enters season two

Next up on America, it’s the season two premiere of The Donald Trump Show. All your favorite characters are back—or are they? Will The Mooch be able to scheme and scream his way back into the White House? Will Steve Bannon, last seen indulging a quaff from his hip flask as a door embossed with the words ‘Robert Mueller’ closed behind him, continue his vengeance against the man he helped elect? Will the Wooster-and-Jeeves act of Trump and chief of staff John Kelly endure now that the latter was caught undermining his boss’s authority in a meeting? Find out next only (I mean, it could only be) on Fox.

I’ll readily admit that analogizing the Trump administration to a reality show wasn’t my idea: Kevin Williamson of National Review originally thought it up and Gracy Olmstead at The American Conservative adapted it into her column last week. I’m shamelessly stealing it only because it perfectly encapsulates the topsy-turvy, camera-laden thunderdome that has been Trump’s executive branch.
