While I totally agree, I also couldn’t help chuckling when I watched (volume muted of course) the side by side comparison.

There’s no way to parody Trump; he IS a parody.

Funny you should mention that. I don’t know the film so I looked it up and lo and behold, this article came up. https://deadline.com/2016/10/andy-griffith-elia-kazan-donald-trump-1201833245/

Obviously there is a shortage of interns to blame at that station.

It actually makes Chiselin’ Trump’s mouth appear to be less anus-shaped.

That video was definitely altered. He took out the aqua colored eye shadow.

Good ole’ Seattle, even some employees of the Faux network aren’t wingers. Did this guy smooze his way to work then wait for his moment of glory. Good on ya!

I guess. But the reality is, one does not need to fake Trump idiocies at all. He is a vile, adulterating, grab them by the pussy orange psychopath, and fake news enhancement of his orange and tongue is counterproductive despite the perceived joke content.

More appropriate orange jokes?

Me too. I watched a few minutes of the speech before the sniffing got to me. The unaltered tongue was noticeable and creepy, even if brief.

KOMO 4 is becoming suspect here in Seattle too - both being Sinclair stations…

I suppose, as a former broadcast journalist myself, I have to say, “Bad video editor! Bad!” Reprimand or dismissal – the discipline is fits the offense. But can I giggle while I say it?

And I agree wholeheartedly with crackerjack… “Best burned bridge ever!” The editor will be hired again, but will also be watched closely on the job.
