Donald Trump tried his best on Inauguration Day to come off as the kind of terrifying, bigoted monster who also sort of has his shit together sometimes, but dig beneath the orangey ophidian surface just a bit and you will see a man barely staying focused long enough to plagiarize a well-known super villain speech,…
