Tim contrasts online outrage over the milkshake bucket warning label with people ignoring Trump's cozy relationship with Kim Jong-un (Otto Warmbier's torturer), and rips into Ivanka and Jared Kushner's roles in government.
- Twitter users argue over what's actually in a milkshake video, debating bucket warnings and cement.
- Tim says activist Twitter people could actually help homeless people if they wanted to, but they'd rather perform activism online.
- Trump getting along well with Kim Jong-un concerns Tim, even though his supporters think it's great.
- Kim Jong-un tortured Otto Warmbier, who was detained for stealing a flag as a joke in North Korea.
- Twitter users dismissed Warmbier's torture as white male privilege rather than defending his humanity.
- Those same Twitter users suddenly care about Otto Warmbier now that Trump is friendly with his torturer.
- Tim worries Trump has authoritarian impulses, kleptocratic behavior, and installed his family in government positions like a dictator would.
