To recap: The president's son is in trouble for meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer during the campaign to receive potentially incriminating information concerning Hillary Clinton, a rendezvous that was set up by Harambe-defending music publicist Rob Goldstone, who, in addition to wearing "silly hats," happens to represent an Azerbaijani pop star named Emin Agalarov.
Believe it or not, this is where things get interesting.

During the "you're fired" cameo at the end of the video, Trump unnecessarily brings Agalarov's looks into the equation, telling him: "You're just another pretty face, I'm really tired of you." In real life, this sentiment does not carry over. "EMIN was WOW!" Trump has tweeted, without context.
On his website, Agalarov brags that he is "the first person ever to persuade Donald Trump to appear in a music video." He might have had some leverage, though: Agalarov's father, a billionaire real estate developer who rented Trump the Crocus City Hall in Moscow for the Miss Universe 2013 pageant, was afterward informed by Trump, in all-caps, that TRUMP TOWER-MOSCOW is next.
Any questions? No? Watch the music video below and you might think of a few. Jeva Lange
