The most annoying thing is, I always kinda liked #ZaphodBeeblebrox. "What is truth, man? You heard the weirdo." #hg2g

Another thing Trump has completely ruined for me.

#Trump is actually a #ZaphodBeeblebrox​-style president. His task is not to wield power, but to draw attention away from it.

Considering half the country is voting for #ZaphodBeeblebrox, it was only a matter of time. 😞 #HHG

@fringemagnet
I guess it makes sense when we have #ZaphodBeeblebrox running for president.

What possible harm could a few drinks make?

In case no one has noticed, Donald T**** is #ZaphodBeeblebrox:

A narcissistic lunatic showboating criminal installed as president, whose antics are intended to distract everyone from what the rich & powerful are actually doing. 🤦‍♂️ #HGTG #HitchhikersGuide

#ZaphodBeeblebrox

@spacemagick @DekaBlack

I think in the first #HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy radio series (tv too), Ford Prefect starts out, pretty much as #DoctorWho with Arthur being his companion. The thumb (electronic sub-ether device) may as well have been the sonic screwdriver.

This analogy, of course, gets all upended when they both run into #ZaphodBeeblebrox.

@ThomHartmann I'm sure you know who Douglas Adams is (author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy #THHG).

Donald Trump is #ZaphodBeeblebrox.

Zaphod was a showboating criminal who was installed by the powers that be to distract the public from what the powerful were doing.

That describes Trump perfectly: An idiot who's job is to run around committing crimes & saying ridiculous things to distract the voters who cheer his antics like it's entertainment.

Norquist"s "functioning digits" guy.

I'm just zis guy you know?

#HGTTG #zaphodbeeblebrox

@peturdainn BELGIUM MAN, BELGIUM!

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist.) #ZaphodBeeblebrox

The whole social sphere feels like a bunch of cloned #zaphodbeeblebrox took over but with loads less charisma and far far dumber. It's quite a sight to behold. That said....

#twitterexodus #redditMigration #twitter #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy

American conservative rhetoric takes a page from #hhgttg's #zaphodbeeblebrox's syllogistic inversion: "Property is theft. Therefore, theft is property. Therefore, this is my car."

They lose arguments all day long & become upset. Therefore, if you become upset, you lose the argument. Therefore: U MAD BRO???

#Zaphod was a terrible president, too: he signed the order to bulldoze Earth without reading it, and stole confidential materials. But he's just zis guy, y'know? He never attempted a coup.
