4. I've probably only seen that film, oh...I dunno...100 times. One of the greatest movies ever made.

IN LATER YEARS, hardened career criminals like "Johnny Rocco" ended up being portrayed as "having a human side," or the writers were compelled to tell the backstory of how he came from a broken home or his pet goldfish died or...

...and what the world never wants to accept, whether it's Johnny Rocco or Donald Trump or FRED Trump, is that SOMETIMES...like it or not...there are people in this world who are nothing more than pure walking evil, with an unquenchable thirst, who cannot be "redeemed" because they will not allow it.

Trump is an orange Caligula. And the only upside of this is that the media seems to have abandoned its childish First Term Fantasy that at any minute now, just be patient, wait for it, "TRUMP IS GOING TO PIVOT AND BECOME PRESIDENTIAL."
