Jemaine Clement had the perfect comeback for this keyboard warrior objecting to celebrities talking politics
Talented actor, writer and musician Jemaine Clement is probably most well-known for both the film and the TV series What We Do in the Shadows, or as one half of Flight of the Conchords, but the New Zealander also has a large following on Twitter/X, where he often speaks out about political issues.
He recently spotted this interesting snippet about Donald Trump – or, at least, Donald Trump’s plane.
It prompted him to leave this savagely funny comment.

Can anybody rule out the possibility of that being accurate? Probably not. Some people joined in with the mockery.

Aren’t job performance reviews typically done in person?

Others were – how should we put it? – a little miffed.
Maybe he is being diplomatic to avoid World War 3. Unlike the warmongering Demos.

And you're supposed to be the smarter one of the two?
Oh boy.

One keyboard warrior thought he had quite the zinger.
He set it up and Jemaine Clement knocked it down.
Like the host of "The Apprentice"? https://t.co/GqruK4Wyll

Credit where it’s due.
Now, now, let’s be fair. He was in Home Alone 2 way before The Apprentice.
