Like the Bowery Boys metaphor! The "dirty little secret" to Trump's devotees is, he's always been ignorant and incompetent. In the magnificent movie "Amadeus," there is the character I always think of as "The Daffy Duke." He is The Boss, and he is short of an oar, but knows enough to proclaim, when it seems expected: "There it is!" And the court fusses over what a genius he is. For a little while, there was a notorious artwork at the corner of Castro and Market in San Francisco, larger-than-life Emperor Trump with no clothes. "There it is!"
Perfect analogy! One of my very favorite films of all time. "Too many notes! There are only so many notes the ear can hear, am I right? "Yes, Your Magisty. There are simply too many notes." "There it is! Just remove a few and it will be perfect."
The great movies do stick to you with signature lines; sometimes moments. But you have the second one from Amadeus: "Too many notes!" IMO, the movie most chock-full of meaningful signature lines is "Milagro Beanfield War," but that's another story.
