    I read that yesterday, and although I'm a longtime fan of Cleese and Python, I thought it was unfunny, childish, off point and certainly not helpful to the discussion. Just a series of old Yank jokes rehashed in the context of a serious international event. Not impressed.

                                          Not only is this not actually from John Cleese, but it's not even referring to Trump but George W. Bush. Yep, it is that old. Snopes[^]
