So it's either surprisingly good or a bit of a mess, but either way it has its moments and there are some very apposite quotes. A small industry developed around the first Trump presidency -- when...

The White Stripes could only have been simpler if Jack White had strapped a bass drum to his back and cymbals to his knees. Just a great idea for a band, and I think they used to get grief because it seemed such an obvious idea ... that others hadn't had.
