I just heard that. This little pipsqueak cracker motherfuhcker from Louisiana was appointed the US ENVOY TO GREENLAND?

I had to fucking Google that.
Fuck people, we are already IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE. IN WHAT FUCKING REALITY DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?

Did somebody prank Trump and say to someone else he suggested this Landrey toadstool as a US envoy? And Trump did it? And Landrey said oh golly gee, dohdy-dOH, I'll do it?

What fresh hell is this?

Trackdown was the show

It had a 1958 episode named "The End of the World" featured a con man named Walter Trump.

An episode of the 1950s series "Trackdown" featured a character named "Trump" who wanted to build a wall to stop the world from ending. It's resurfaced on social media, given the parallels to today's border controversy. CBSN contributor and Signal newsletter writer Willis Sparks takes us through the uncanny similarities.
