25 August 2020 - Trump campaign

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

I got in on the edge of a conversation with an early member of the Trump campaign in 2016. After gleefully recounting the campaign’s disorganization and the unflattering role of a later big name, he lamented “Now he has become too independent.” It sounded as though Donnie Duck was to be managed by handlers, like a mid-level talent managed by a record label. Well, that is disorganized, all right. It would never work with a personality like his.

clue:

A number of cartoonists have drawn Trump to look like a duck, comparing him to Donald Duck.

give me a clue so sweet and true
