I get very suspicious.

It is like in a criminal investigation when the husband is suspected of murdering his wife, and it is discovered that the husband was at a fancy hotel at the time of the murder and he approached the concierge with "I'm Gunny Lugar. Good sir, can you tell me the time?" and then gives him a $20 tip, followed by "Yes indeed. It is 10:37 PM and my watch is working perfectly. Good day, sir."

The investigator's first question of friends and acquaintances is, "Had you ever seen Gunny do this before? Was he usually that chatty with the concierge and that liberal with his tips?"

Why would Paramount air the first episode in this new series just 2 days after Trump accepted their bribe to let the merger go through? Surely Trump could have pulled the deal back at that point? It is as if they had an "understanding", but I am at a loss how this would benefit Trump. It is obvious how it benefits Paramount. It is getting huge ratings. And this delay will only draw more attention to the release next week because people will believe it must really be explosive to have been held up like this.

I wonder if the real deal is that Trump personally gets a percent of the gross on the South Park series.
