    World War III would be a tragedy. World War III being launched because Trump wants to expand his brand in Taiwan would be a farce.

        Were this to happen, I think Trump would be a fine target.

        This may be the most meaningful distinction about Trump vs. other presidents: He will always place his own interests ahead of ours

        When Slim Pickens rides that bomb down, we can laugh because it's a movie. In real life it's gallows humor at the actual gallows.

        In the Internet Age, we’re too impatient to wait between the tragedy and farce, so we do ’em both simultaneously.
