How long before Trump morphs into Howard Beale??

I can just picture him having the "I'm mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!!" meltdown. Hopefully in the middle of his concession speech, if they can convince him to make one.

Damn, I wish I knew how to use photoshop!! I'd plop his orange face right onto the photo.

1. He's not clever enough

Also, he's not a genius like Paddy Chayefsky. However, I do see Cheeto Jesus getting so worked up with hate he busts a vein and drops like a log.

2. No, he skipped right past clever straight to unhinged

And I don't know if it is hate, although there is that, as much as his inability to handle anyone disagreeing with him.

I used to work with someone like that, and the bulging vein thing was pretty common when anyone didn't follow her script.

3. "Network" is one of my all-time favorite movies.

We saw it again the other night. Brilliant script. Wonderful actors. Amazing directing.

Shows the TV alternate universe for what it really is -- fake and empty. Money and ratings are more important than human lives.

That's why we don't watch TV anymore. Flesh and blood real people -- genuine community -- are what matter. TV and virtual community are substitutes that don't work.

4. people always remember the Beale speech

But I think it was Ned Beaty's that was the more brilliant.
