Discussing Trump

 Discussing Trump, in which Madeleine is totally with the program.

JULIA: Isn't Donald Trump's last name really Drumpf?
ETHAN: Yes.  Drumpf is German.
JULIA: (mock gasp) He's German?  He's not even AMERICAN!
ME: Well, his Dad was from Germany, for real.  But Trump was born here.
ETHAN: And even if he was born in Germany, if you get citizenship, you're a real American.
JULIA: I know, I was-
ME: I know.  You were saying that because Trump is so anti-immigrant.  
JULIA: Right.
ME: I think European immigrants are okay by him.  He just doesn't want immigrants from Mexico. After all, his wife is Eastern European.
ETHAN: She got her citizenship suspiciously fast, though.
ME: She got a "genius grant." For her modeling. 
JULIA: She's not even pretty, though.  She looks like a CAT.
MADELEINE: (who has been sitting around the table with us this WHOLE TIME) Who looks like a cat?
JULIA: Melania Trump.
MADELEINE: Oh!  I thought you were talking about ELSA.

Yes, that's right.  This whole time we were not talking about the #1 pressing subject on our minds (for once, the election has slightly edged out the usual #1 subject of COVID-19), but about the characters from "Frozen."
