Rich Hall on Donald Trump
Donald Trump promised to wipe out Isis - perhaps he already has...
Rich Hall, The Guardian, 6th March 2017I could listen to Hall for ever. His laconic, hilarious intelligence and beautiful use of language is always a delight. And this stand-up show, recorded in front of an audience in Washington DC, didn't disappoint. He dealt his blows even-handedly. Clinton is "a cyborg, void of emotion, held together by rivets". Trump has "all the appeal of a rancid Mac and cheese fermenting in a hot dumpster". Whoever wins, it will be, said Hall, a historic decision. "We're about to elect the first woman president," he said. "Or the first last president."
