Lesson Thirteen: People Aren't Metaphors

Trump calls them "two tough cookies" and points out again that we are looking at two individuals out of millions of applicants, and then goes after Toral again. "Toral, you took a lot of abuse -- and I think deservedly so, to be honest with you." This is why I carry a fucking blowgun. Are you kidding me with this shit? "Toral, you're a national joke, and I think that's not only hilarious but completely great!" And she...laughs. Everybody laughs. I want to cry. Remember the Umeboshi! "Mr. Trump, as a woman in business, I am extremely proud to support a woman like Rebecca, who is honest…" Trump interrupts: "You better support her! Boy, did she support you!" You know that one uncle who told you when you were six that you looked like a baby bird or something? And now, twenty years later, still with the same joke, and you kind of want to stab him a little bit with a fork because the second he sees you, you know what he's going to say? Dear Awkward Old Men Who Can't Relate To Other People: Please make a new joke the next time you see us. Love, Everybody. Once is funny, twice is silly, three times you get the blowgun.

Toral just keeps going. "Sir, Rebecca is smart, honest, trustworthy…" Trump interrupts: "Better than Randal?" She takes a second to steel herself, and then says with this kind of terrifying, kind of Lamborghini Motherfucker barely-suppressed rage, "She is better than Randal." Everybody, including Trump, is like, "Whoa!" Because Randal is obviously going to win, but also because she said this in a way which approximated a really large blowgun of sentiment. Fucking Alla pipes up, off-camera, "Biased opinion!" I'll deal with you in a sec, lady.

"Rebecca has the qualities of a great leader, Mr. Trump. She is a hard --" Again with the interruptions. What the hell? "I love the way you're defending her, because she defended you." (Remember? Like I said five seconds ago?) "And I love what you're doing." Toral: "Mr. Trump, she is a diamond in a haystack." I'm guessing she's just a bit tongue-tied, but she's mangled simple colloquialisms like this before, I think. "This is the first time I like you, Toral." She laughs again. Everybody laughs. Fuck. It really, really bothers me, this. It's like his only shtick tonight: Yell, yell, remind Toral's she's a worthless piece of crap, yell some more. Umeboshi or not, that's some bullshit.
