On watching Donald Trump’s video deposition in the E. Jean Carroll case, I could not help but notice the striking parallels, especially in the category of sheer ineptitude, between Trump’s testimony, www.cnn.com/… and that of a certain fictional office manager for the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company (see below).

KAPLAN: You’re saying Marla’s in this photo?

TRUMP: That’s Marla, yeah. That’s, that’s my wife.

KAPLAN: Which woman are you pointing to?

TRUMP: Here

HABBA: No, that’s Carroll.

Dunder Mifflin: How long have you known Ms. Levinson?

Scott: Six years and two months.

Dunder Mifflin: And you worked under her the entire time.

Scott: That’s what she said.

KAPLAN: And you say – and again this has become very famous – in this video, ‘“I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p*ssy. You can do anything.” That’s what you said. Correct?

TRUMP: Well, historically, that’s true with stars.

KAPLAN: It’s true with stars that they can grab women by the p*ssy?

TRUMP: Well, that’s what, if you look over the last million years I guess that’s been largely true. Not always, but largely true. Unfortunately or fortunately.

Dunder Mifflin: How long have you known the Plaintiff?

Scott: I have not actually seen it, but I have seen The Firm and plan on renting the Pelican Brief.

These are just two of many examples of the parallels between Trump and Michael Scott’s respective video depositions. While Trump’s overall tone is far nastier, to me, the similarities are quite striking.
