Michael Schur, the comedy writer behind beloved sitcoms such as Parks & Recreation and The Good Place, has declared President Donald Trump beyond even his powers of parody.
Schur, who tweets under the pseudonym Ken Tremendous, found himself particularly stunned at Trumps latest tweet warning Democratic governors that he would put down their purported rebellion against his authority and then compared himself to William Bligh, the British Royal Navy captain who was depicted as a mad tyrant in the film Mutiny on the Bounty."
In fact, Schur compared Trumps apparent affinity for Bligh with a joke he and his fellow writers wrote while working on The Office but he said Trump was even funnier.
Gonna leave a mark, I'm sure!

He probably overheard some junior level staffer refer to him as Captain Bligh. And thought it was a tremendous compliment. A perfect one.

I cannot imagine how or why anyone would work with or for him. 😳
Let's hope someone helps his teensy brain to grasp what a fool he has made of himself. His head would explode. 🤯
