Since June, comedy writer Owen Ellickson (currently writing for NBC’s Superstore) has been imagining Donald Trump’s private conversations in dialogue form—and while mute sidekick Chris Christie, campaign manager Paul Manafort, and Hillary Clinton have all appeared in those conversations, Trump’s perfect comic foil has been Paul Ryan. You can probably imagine, then, what’s happened since Trump refused to endorse the Speaker of the House on Tuesday: Ellickson’s feed has gone from a funny lark to indispensable political satire. (Admit it: on some level, you always knew that Ryan was a Grimm fan.) To filter this in anyway is unjust, so just do yourself a favor and read it all the way through.
