Fabio plainly knows the difference between butter and fake margarine, but must demonstrate the complexity and nuance of that difference if ever he is to be taken seriously as a consultant in global affairs.

2. Unfortunately Fabio is probably a better judge of political talent than any one on Donny's team

The butter issue is a straw man issue. Butter does not threaten to build walls, round up religious groups etc. For that matter neither does margarine. I give him a pass on this issue. What I think is important in this issue is that we can tell the difference between butter and fake butter.

Matter of fact I think Fabio would be a much better choice than either of the other scary characters they've proposed for Secretary of State. Plus Fabio is most likely fluent in at least two languages and perhaps some Italian dialects as well.
