Spinal Tap & Putin Puppet Show? Michael "David St. Hubbins" McKean trolls Trump via David Corn.

The joke is that David Corn has tweeted "Today would be a good day for Donald Trump to release his taxes" at least once a week, every week, since Trump became the Republican nominee. As you will see below, David Corn got the joke.

The season finale certainly implied he was killed but it wasn't definite. On IMBD he is not listed in 2018 credits.

Last season’s fiery finale left McKean’s character, cruel and psychologically troubled attorney Chuck McGill, in .?.?. well, let’s just say considerable peril. The season 4 premiere on Monday will clarify his condition, and McKean is quite candid about it here.

It’ll be tricky here to avoid spoilers, but given last season’s finale, it seems your character is in for some major changes.

Yeah. Some months ago I did a few interviews with “Saul” co-creator Peter Gould, and we said, hey, look, Chuck is dead. The “Better Call Saul” Twitter account put out a really flattering piece basically saying, “Goodbye, Chuck.”

And yet I gather we haven’t seen the last of him. There’ll be flashbacks, dream sequences .?.?. ?

Oh, yeah, you’ll see Chuck again. I won’t tell you which episodes. But I did a couple this year. We were shooting [last season] and I was in my car in Albuquerque when the guys [co-creators Vince Gilligan and Gould] called me and I said, “If this is the death call, I’m pulling over.” So I pulled into the parking lot of a used bookstore and we had a lovely conversation. It made sense to me as far as our story goes. And I said, “Do I go out with a bang?” And they said, “Oh, yeah.” That’s all I cared about.
