Evan’s a reformed liberal turned sane person, so he knows how the left thinks. You don’t have to be political to enjoy Evan’s show but it does help. Evan has been a comedy professional for most of his life – SNL etc. He wrote President Trump’s speech for the Al Smith dinner where candidate Trump roasted Hillary Clinton.

Hillary bumps into Trump in a stairwell.

“I might,” says Trump.

Wow, he’s lost some weight. About time too!

[Note: The ‘do no harm’ thing is suspect given the gazillion of businesses that failed because of an unleveled playing field, the result of regulatory fiat, an environment that is perhaps changing today.]
