Trump is having trouble getting anything done due to his open contempt for others and gets it in his head that Mike Pence is out to take his job.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Bad Boss: Trump has Mike Pence waterboarded multiple times because he's convinced that he's out to get him based on no evidence whatsoever.
  • Compulsive Liar: Omarosa Manigault Newman can't seem to help herself, telling various Blatant Lies in her interview with Anderson Cooper.
  • Extreme Doormat: Trump has John Bolton waterboard Mike Pence to the point where he begs to be put of his misery for no good reason and he still thinks that Trump is a good guy. Even Karen, who's just as much of a wholesome fool as Mike is, points out just how wrong it is.
  • Improperly Paranoid: Trump is convinced that Pence is out to get him when really Mike Pence is genuinely loyal.
    Mike Pence: With the Lord as my witness, I'm not trying to take your job!
    Donald Trump: There he is. The real Michael Pence. You know, I walk those streets. I know the game. Lure me in, tell me "we'e got a big future together". Before I know it, you're sitting in that desk and I'm waking up in a motel-room with a bloody crowbar in hand and a dead runaway I've never seen before sprawled across the duvet!
