Ironically, the Ugly American was the good guy. Wiki sums it up nicely:
The “Ugly American” of the book title refers to the plain-looking engineer Atkins, who lives with the local people, who comes to understand their needs, and who offers genuinely useful assistance with small-scale projects, such as the development of a simple bicycle-powered water pump.
According to an article published in Newsweek in May, 1959, the “real” “Ugly American” was identified as an International Cooperation Agency technician named Otto Hunerwadel, who, with his wife Helen, served in Burma from 1949 until his death in 1952. They lived in the villages, where they taught farming techniques, and helped to start home canning industries.
Trump is actually quite easy to handle. Tell him he’s great, and he’ll follow you anywhere. Putin showed us all how to do it with that embarrassing episode last fall.
Be sure to watch Trump’s recent rant about how as a great leader he could order our troops to waterboard terrorists and kill their families, and the troops would obey because he is a Great Leader! Other words for Leader? Italian: Duce. German: Fuehrer.
Of course, “I was only following orders” stopped being a defense with the Nuremburg trials. The immediate response of military leaders that the troops have an obligation to ignore illegal orders is one reason that Trump backed down swiftly and completely, saying that OF COURSE he would never give an illegal order. Yeah, right.

“A bit of a handful.”If you want to handle him, give him a measuring tape and tell him to go to his room.

If only the real Donald the Rump did that, we’d never have to listen to him again.

A meth lab zombie puppy? I thought there were only chocolate labs or golden labs, not meth labs. What color is meth anyway?
