Tom Hanks, Margaret Brennan, and the European Ministers -- Reveal It All
Three recent but completely unrelated events illustrate the deranged hatred of President Donald Trump and his supporters continuing now even into a second decade. And yet the venom only further marginalizes the left.
In its too-long 50th anniversary spectacle, Saturday Night Live offered a skit in which marquee actor Tom Hanks did an impression of what the left thinks is a supposedly Neanderthal Trump supporter.
The episode was NBC's tele-version of the recent Obama-Hillary Clinton-Biden vocabulary of cheap MAGA disparagement: clingers, deplorables, irredeemables, chumps, dregs, semi-fascists, and ultra-MAGAs.
Most of those stereotyped props were evident in Hanks' character. He was wearing a red MAGA hat (real and not the fake versions of Jussie Smollett's wild and sinister imagination).
