• 59:11Tim debates whether Trump is the most famous person in the world, settling on Jesus Christ as the only one more famous.
• 59:55Trump will have the funnest post-presidency if he loses, with Hollywood eventually embracing him the way they did George W. Bush.
• 1:00:23Trump has figured out something that works—McChickens and Adderalls—to stay vital and energetic.
• 1:00:56Tim compares Trump's political role to teenagers egging cars on Halloween, getting it out of their system together as a pack.
• 1:01:47Trump doesn't get invested in things the way normal people do; he's a craven narcissist and megalomaniac comfortable with himself.
• 1:02:17Trump's closing statement—"it's me and Christ"—is the perfect coda, with Jesus being the only one bigger than him.
• 1:03:15Trump had a rock star presidency; the second term won't be as fun, and he can blame COVID for the economy while the first album was the hit.
• 1:03:59Trump can still play the hits with rallies and remain a massive cultural force, like Billy Joel still touring the same songs decades later.
