There's a really sexy shot down through the central arboretum of Trump Tower, all brass and warm lights, and suddenly I get why he's so happy about it, and then there's the equally fantastic-looking Trump Bar, which is empty except for Josh and Mark, who talk about how Mark thinks James was partially to blame for derailing the whole concept with his huge batting cage and huge batting obsession, and how Josh would like to brainwash Mark into blaming Jenthura. Which he then does impressively, and then they gaze at each other romantically and promise undying fealty.
Into the Boardroom! Part deux! And again with the crutch-hopping, Rebecca! Do they just despise you or what? Bill looks terrified, and Carolyn looks like a Star Trek priestess from a deeply religious planet in her blindingly white yet flattering toga. Jenthura's rocking a Trump-esque combover, all her body volume and manageability piled up starting at her right ear, and Trump himself is in a tux because he's going to dinner at MOMA -- "You'll do that someday," lest we forget his lifestyle is what we're all basing our shit on -- and he immediately bears down on them about how it's the worst defeat in the history of the show. There's not much they can say to that.
Josh tells him they lost for a "variety of reasons," but that Jenthura was the issue, and also maybe James. Trump calls James a good baseball player, according to the Mets, which brings out the dimples, but then CRUSH KILL DESTROY he's all, "But it didn't do you any good, so who cares!" Ouch. Rebecca offers that the batting cage was the issue, and again Trump fingers James, both for the cage itself and the batting expo he decided to put on. To team protestations that the line was long and interest were high, he responds, "In a way, [it's] worse, because you created something that should have been a winner, and you made it a loser." Bill chimes in that Mark was completely unhelpful, and Mark gives a silly answer about how he "understands" the ball-shooting machine and is some kind of Ball-Shooting Machine Whisperer, to which the answer is, "You, Josh, and James stayed in the diamond the entire time, so which of you is the asshole?"
