John Cleese suggested to Conan that Donald Trump’s announced cabinet picks would make for a grisly band of pirates…And if you can picture Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie all in tights, and swashing their buckles, there may be hope for you and your post-election depression yet!
An interesting snippet of the conversation touched on Trump and Putin’s relationship. John Cleese, who allowed that while Putin may be a lovely person to his children; had been head of the KGB, one of the most fierce, intelligence units of all time.
Cleese then dropped a tidbit that certainly leads me to think that neighborly Vlad reached out with campaign help for Donnie, long before the Russian hack of our election process was made public.
“A simple principle of the KGB is to accuse the opposition of exactly what you’re doing yourself, and I thought that was what Trump was doing, as a result, Putin has got exactly the president that he wants.”
