Satirist-In-Chief: Anthony Atamanuik Mines Trump's Darkness For Comedic Gold - HuffPost
https://apple.news/A0HCA5FJ6S02Xwpg5Gmvwtw
In an interview with HuffPost, the comedian broke down why such unsettling material can be so valuable.
We dont have to look at the bad things. We dont have to look at our history, Atamanuik asserted. As he put it, American citizens safely ignore the ill that our society is built on, preferring to remain in a state of blissful ignorance and repression. By addressing this ill head-on and putting a fun spin on it, Atamanuik said its possible to understand it in a deeper way and have ownership and authorship over how it gets presented."
His show makes SNL trump satire look like
amateur night, and his maniacally spot on trump mannerisms must make Alec Baldwin feeling a little jealous

(6,252 posts)I've seen every episode and it is bitingly funny, sardonic and right on target.
No other program captures the essence of don the con quite the way this show does.
Satirically it is right up there with Python.
It is brilliant in every way. Bravo!
