When a pack of creepy dummies flash across your screen, your impulse may be to hit the ‘stop’ button, but the bizarre tale of the transformation of the Grand Old Party into the TP Party is best told using the words of the man – or in this case, ‘the Head Dummy’ who made it all possible – Donald Trump. As you know, Trump insinuated himself into the Tea Party as a Birther – giving him double credentials as an ass-hat. No one suspected he’d take the party right back down the drain with him when he reappeared.
Comedy often wildly exaggerates a person or an issue in order to shine a light on it. In this case, you’ll appreciate that ‘Dummies’ creators had a unique challenge on their hands. How can you create a joke that is more extreme than Trump’s actual words? While they stuck a few jokes in, the bulk of the cringe worthy and unbelievable lines you’ll hear come directly from the Great Orange Dummy’s own mouth – because you can’t make this stuff up. Did he say ‘Make America Hate Again?’ If not, it’s all in the context.
