Hey, it's a fun movie. One of Hollywood's best swashbucklers
And the final sword fight between Stewart Granger and Mel Ferrer is perhaps the best screen duel ever!
And the novel by Rafael Sabatini is not bad either with one of the great opening sentences:
"He was born with the gift of laughter, and a sense that the world was mad".

Tie. Jack Koehler was Reagan's Communications Director for only 11 days. He was asked to resign after the discovery he was part of a Nazi youth group.

Is he still alive? Being part of a Nazi youth group would probably not be a disqualification in the Trump administration. Hell, it would probably be seen as a plus.

Seems like every few days there's a high level firing lately.

Does anybody think that maybe Trump hasn't realised that he isn't doing The Apprentice any more?

Trump is the apprentice now. Sooner or later Congress or the voters will tell him, "Your fired."

I would bet on this, but Trump has been surprisingly difficult to predict. I'd much rather have him nuts and getting nothing done than well-ordered and working towards his insanely anti-American (pro-rich people) agenda.

After he was elected, I was sincerely hoping that there was more to Trump than meets the eye. It turned out that there is less.

Which, of course, is perfectly descriptive of Trump watchers with any sense!!!

It always turns out that way with republickers that some people are deluded enough to think there is more than meets the eye to them. And that is never the case to their dismay and disappointment. So they just hide their shame for being fooled - usually again!!!

Scara looks like one of the young thugs in The Sporanos who wanted to be a made guy but was too stupid even for that.

He's not more or less. He is exactly as he advertised himself. People wanted to believe there was more to him or that he would change. He never even hinted that he would ever change or that there was anything more than what you see. That was the people justifying their support for him. They may think they were sold a bill of goods, but they got exactly what they paid for: a narcissistic, congenital liar who really is not very smart; nothing more and nothing less.

Covfefe:
a comic dramatic work using buffoonery and horseplay and typically including crude characterization and ludicrously improbable situations.
Syn: Farce

Scaramuccia [Scaramouche in French, Scaramouch in English] " is a stock clown character of the commedia dell'arte (comic theatrical arts of Italian literature). The role combined characteristics of the Zanni (servant) and the Capitano (masked henchman). Usually attired in black Spanish dress and burlesquing a don, he was often beaten by Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice." [Source: Wiki]

Everybody knows who plays Harlequin here (the conniving manipulator always Tweeting his own horn and trying to grab ladies by their crotches).

Wiki has stuff on Harlequin too.

... Another theory suggest that the name Harlequin is taken from that of a mischievous "devil" or "demon" character in popular French passion plays ... Hellequin was depicted as a black-faced emissary of the devil, roaming the countryside with a group of demons chasing the damned souls of evil people to Hell. The physical appearance of Hellequin offers an explanation for the traditional colours of Harlequin's red-and-black mask ... The similarities between the devil in Dante's Inferno and the Arlecchino are more than cosmetic and that the prank like antics of the devils in the aforementioned antics reflect some carnivalesque aspects.​
