The Trump presidency is about to come for us all, but Samantha Bee is here to dismantle every move made by the “livid Orange Julius”-elect.
After the C.I.A. released a report about Trump’s ongoing ties to Russia and questionable leisure activities, Full Frontal With Samantha Bee returned in their first episode of 2017 ready to tackle Trump’s ineffectuality and ego.
“Let’s watch how the next leader of the free world responds to a provocation,” Bee says slyly in the show’s first segment.
Bee quickly recapped the salacious side of the report and pointed to discrepancies in how it was covered on local broadcasts versus national cable news. “The national press took a tippy-toe trip to euphemism town,” she said.
“A high probability this story is bullshit,” Bee added, “but the fact that it’s plausible bullshit is a terrifying statement about what our nation has come to.”
She finished the segment with Trump’s alleged press conference from Wednesday, circling back to the fact that Russia manipulated Trump and everything else is a distraction.
