I just want to step aside for a moment and point out this has no business being a GIF instead of a static image.

I think the gif ironically demonstrates how stupid US television is.

Instead of just showing the person talking, the camera has to pan through some fucking bushes. And why the fuck are they talking outside in an autumn garden anyway? And there is a a real irony in talking about oligarchs with a billionaire media personality.

This may be the perfect gif.
