I Love the Trump Administration!
I Didn't Think My Parody Would Be Relevant Four Years Later. And I Certainly Didn't Think Cheryl Hines' Husband Would Endorse the Man She Mocked
When I convinced Funny or Die to make six videos in October of 2020 to remind people of the chaos of the Trump Administration, I did not think it would have much of a lifespan. This is because I do not do anything with much of a lifespan. I once did a Q&A with R&B singer Sisqó, in which I used my journalistic skills to elucidate information such as:
Q. Did you name yourself after the Internet router company or the food-service corporation?
A. Neither–it was a nickname I got because my mother is mixed. I used to get cracked on as Puerto Rican.
Q. What does the name Sisqo have to do with being Puerto Rican?
A. Nothing. In my neighborhood it sounded Puerto Rican.
So copying the format of I Love ’80s to warn Americans to never forget events even worse than “The Thong Song” seemed like disposable content. I did not know that Best Presidency Ever would be even more relevant four years later. And I certainly didn’t know that the husband one of our anti-Trump panelists, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., would endorse Trump.
So please watch these videos to remind yourself and your loved ones exactly it was like to live from 2016-2020.

It certainly feels like a plotline in "Curb Your Enthusiasm," where the fictional Cheryl David's new husband (the fictional Ted Danson!) endorses Trump.
