President talk about their rapid accession and why they’re not an industry plant.

“When you blow up really quickly, it’s assumed you’re backed by a huge corporate machine,” he tells us. “People find it hard to accept that something can just explode organically. But if something’s getting a lot of attention, you’re gonna draw equal measures of hate as you are love. I’d rather people felt something than nothing at all.”

In fact, Mr President insists that he “couldn’t have planned a harder way to introduce President to the world”.

I can’t see that mask and not hear “I am not a plant” in the Richard Nixon voice/cadence of “I am not a crook.”
