Just keep up that bawdy energy of yours, and you’ll win over the audience. Now, places people! We’re going to nail the choreography on the barricade sequence if it kills me.” At press time, Trump was overheard ordering a weeping Attorney General Pam Bondi to take ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ from the top and to please stay in tune this time.
