I feel like I'm watching a Marx Brothers movie [View all]

You know the type of movie in which the actors are all in on the joke and so is the audence. But the principal of the story doesn't know everyone is putting him on.

All the actors sit around the table telling Trump how wonderful he is as we move further away from peace. In this particular story, Putin is played by Groucho.

As a viewer, I know nothing is going to come from all this blabbering and false compliments. It's as if even a casual observer knows that the compliments to Trump are insicere. For Christ's sake, the reporters spell it out that the way to deal with Trump is to praise him.

It's as if everyone knows that the praise if false, but Trump eats it up

While thousands of people die, this comedy is not so funny.
