After watching President Trump erratically fire one key member of his administration after another, we came to a realization. Trump is just the real life version of the George Steinbrenner caricature on Seinfeld as played by Larry David. For those of you who didn’t watch Seinfeld, first off, shame on you. But to you non-Seinfelders, the Steinbrenner character was always seen from the back so you never saw his face. He had Larry David’s voice, and was basically made to look like a bombastic and erratic moron. Remind you of anyone? In case it doesn’t, here are a few ways that Trump and Seinfeld’s Steinbrenner are one and the same:
1. They Both Like Firing People
2. They Both Care More About Loyalty Than the Ability to Do a Job
Unless you’ve been under a rock in the last year, you’ll have noticed that Trump has fired a slew of people in his Administration. And that’s in addition to the people who have resigned. As for the people who have replaced the initial head-scratching appointments? Well, let’s just say that George Costanza would be a huge step up.
On another note, how many people do you think Trump has had make the loyalty oath that he tried to get out of James Comey? We’ll set the over/under at 128.
3. They’re Both Always Finding Out Things For the First Time That Everybody Already Knew
4. They Both Like to Make Fun of Other People By Coming Up With Ridiculous Nicknames or Descriptions
“And here’s something I just found out recently, [Babe Ruth] wasn’t really a sultan.” -Seinfeld’s Steinbrenner
“Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated.” -Trump
“France is America’s first and oldest ally. A lot of people don’t know that.” -Trump reading from a notecard
And then of course there are the nicknames and ridiculous descriptions:
“Babe Ruth was nothing more than a fat old man with little girl legs.” -Seinfeld’s Steinbrenner
Do you really need the list of Trump’s nicknames he’s come up with over the years? Remember Little Marco? Crooked Hillary anyone? By the way, who’s the crooked one now?
5. Neither of Them Could Negotiate Their Way Out of a $5 Toll Booth With $20 In Their Pockets
Trump, the expert negotiator, has managed to alienate us from everyone in the world. Not only that, but our chief economic rival, China, was given the largest gift in the world when Trump unraveled the TPP deal. Every world leader knows that all you need to get what you want from Trump is an invitation, a red carpet for him, and to kiss his rear end for thirty minutes. After that, he’s all yours. And of course Trump is now trying to beg his way back into the TPP deal.
6. They’re Erratic, Bombastic, But Most of All . . . They Love Them Some Unhealthy Food
Here’s a lovely photo of Trump with some KFC to leave you with:
