From our opinion team: In Episode One of “Trump Bites,” Mr. Trump’s not-so-secret admiration for President Vladimir Putin of Russia plays out in a teenager’s bedroom, where the fantasies of this forbidden romance come to life. “Trump Bites” is a series of three short video cartoons that combine real Donald Trump audio clips with hand-drawn fantasy animations by Mr. Plympton. The video cartoons riff on Mr. Trump’s absurd utterances to illustrate the president’s tumultuous inner life of paranoia, narcissism and xenophobia. The series is produced by Billy Shebar and David Roberts of 110th Street Films (https://110thstreet.com/). The filmmakers plan to produce additional dispatches, and they started a crowdfunded effort (https://kck.st/2u1B8gd) for that purpose.
