Does anyone remember the Martin Scorsese movie King of Comedy, where Robert DeNiro portrays a failed comedian named Rupert Pupkin, who in his mother's basement surrounds himself with lifelike cardboard figures of real celebrities, and pretends he is a beloved, adored guest on popular talk shows, and fills in the sound of people laughing at his jokes and applauding him?

Trump is Rupert Pupkin.
