Just reading the words "Spy Hunter" starts the Peter Gunn theme in my head.

Nixon ended up talking to the presidential portraits. Trump's five approval points away from seeking solace from his statues of the founders.

I know! He's also a literal tankie when it comes to the Tiananmen Square massacre. Bummer because I really liked "Sorry to Bother You"
