John Bolton convinces Trump to militarize the nation. Meanwhile, Fox & Friends take a note from Sean Hannity.
This episode provides examples of:
- The Generalissimo: When Trump turns America into a military-dictatorship, he starts wearing an outfit that evokes the trope to emphasize it.
- Lyrical Dissonance: Being the warhawk that he is, John Bolton sings an upbeat broadway song — "Militarization" — about turning the US in one giant police state where Trump is a Dictator and law enforcement keeps order through needlessly excessive violence.
- Take That!:
- Trump gets bipartisan support in declaring war by insinuating that anyone against it is also against the troops.
- One of the military parade floats is about Warhawks who've never actually seen combat, Mike Pence, Stephen Miller and John Bolton being three of them.John Bolton: How am I supposed to enjoy watching a war when I'm so busy being in it?
