to make "Communist China" the scapegoat for his boss' and his own fatal lack of preparation and the resulting loss of life and economic pain. Anything that didn't fit that narrow agenda was of no importance to him.

totally off the wall and not making any sense, whatsoever.

Doesn't he hear the questions or is his brain wired strangely?

I remember thinking listening to him was a loss of time, so I've pretty much ignored him. Also, he seems to disappear a lot

Brazil (the movie) and Orwell's 1984 were not intended as tutorials!

But perhaps they're required reading/viewing to get us through this madness.

I loved Brazil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially the scab plumber? running around turning on everyones air conditioning?

Trump and the RepubliCON's CABAL is more closely following ANIMAL FARM......(It is written to be read by a third grader, something that Trump could understand)

The character is Harry Tuttle, rogue heating/air conditioning specialist. Played by ... Robert De Niro

A great film, but not for everyone.
