2. Thanks! This seems to be the story of the moment

Along with the current media controversies. The thing is, she never did a whole lot in public anyway. As for her Tweet, anyone could have written that. If she really is around, she could easily step out and wave and put an end to all the speculation.

3. yep

and since we know trump doesn't write all his own tweet crap...

[Rhiannon12866]

4. If he doesn't write them, then why do these damn things keep showing up?

I thought everyone was desperate to get that unsecured phone out of his hands.

16. check this out

WASHINGTON — The hallmark of President Trump’s Twitter feed is that it sounds like him — grammatical miscues and all.

But it’s not always Trump tapping out a Tweet, even when it sounds like his voice. West Wing employees who draft proposed tweets intentionally employ suspect grammar and staccato syntax in order to mimic the president’s style, according to two people familiar with the process.

They overuse the exclamation point! They Capitalize random words for emphasis. Fragments. Loosely connected ideas. All part of a process that is not as spontaneous as Trump’s Twitter feed often appears.

18. Interesting article, thanks!

The dumbing down of America - let alone that this is very weird...

5. That was the funniest thing.. Noah on "Where's Melania?"

He's precious!Mahalo, Rhiannon~

[Rhiannon12866]

6. I love that they share his "Between the Scenes" segments talking to his audience

Trevor really is multi talented and these are some of his funniest moments...

[Cha]

7. "..trump sees

people.."

[Rhiannon12866]

8. It's also cool that he totally "gets" American politics even though he's only been here since 2011

I know a lot of people were hoping John Oliver would take over from Jon, but I think that Trevor has done a stellar job! John's show is excellent, too - and he couldn't delve into one topic like he does every Sunday on a four-nights-a-week show. And Trevor is as good as anyone - keeping up with the latest Trump outrages!

9. Two English dudes doing

their brilliant, hilarious takes on our Stupid American Politics.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. That is an excellent point, LOL!

Trevor comes from South Africa, which is even more amazing! I happened to catch one of his comedy stand up specials and he's really good - besides just being funny, he's great at impressions and voices! I'd love to see him do more of that on The Daily Show.

[Cha]

11. Oh, South Africa is it! I

didn't remember that if I ever knew. Thanks for telling me.

And, he comes to the USA and kills it with comedy!

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Yes, and he's only been here since 2011, so his knowledge of politics is quite impressive

He sometimes mentions things that happened in his childhood, his grandmother sounds like quite a character. And he's biracial - his mother was South African and his father was Swiss, which was illegal in apartheid South Africa, must have been tough! He talks about it in this earlier performance:

13. Wow.. that was

pretty funny. Makes me like him more to learn his unique background.. he "..felt like a bag of weed.." lol

So good at accents and languages.. he's genius!

Mahalo, Rhiannon!

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Glad you liked it!

That's not the one I happened to catch, but in this one he explains about his background. It's pretty unbelievable - but those "laws" really weren't that long ago - and he seems to have survived it with his sense of humor intact - and he really is incredibly talented.

15. Trevor Noah keeps getting better and better. Thanks again for posting these videos!

[Rhiannon12866]

17. Thank you. And I certainly agree

He's been a quick study and is as good on national politics as anyone...
