Since the interview subjects are politicians, and therefore none of their spoken comments are to be trusted, the following dialog has been limited, for the purposes of truth-telling, to their private thoughts, as best as we can determine them.
As the curtain opens to the tune of “Hail to the Chief,” the audience sees the following text projected in PowerPoint against a backdrop of a world map: an outtake from a recent (real) Face the Nation interview at the White House.
[Our thanks to member Russ Daggatt for the text of this and other (real) Trump interviews in this week’s issue. Bold font is ours.]
