This episode is a must watch. John at his best!
Too much Trump, and the main story (which was, of course, also about Trump) was so short John had to spend what felt like an eternity trying to make people dancing in zebra costumes way, way funnier than they really are.

[9.0/10] One of the most enjoyable episodes in a while. Riffing on Trump's awkward exchange with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and baseless accusations of wiretapping based on random cable news nutbars were as funny and cutting as anything. The awkward clips of local anchors saying "top of the mornin'" on St. Patrick's day at inappropriate times was great, in addition to the unfortunate Fox and Friends leprechaun clip.
For the main story, going through Trump's proposed budget was interesting in how it delved into Mulvaney's methods for making the proposals, and the absurdity of trying to use Trump's verbiage as a basis for hard numbers. By the same token, the irony of how Trump's budget would hurt the people who voted for him his not new territory, but it's done well.
Still, the best part was the silliest. The dancing zebras to help people at crosswalks is the sort of fluffy, absurd human interest story that, to its intended purpose, lightens the proceedings amid all the unbelievable crud. And the green screen version of the Zebra, inserted into unpleasant events, was great comedy, especially its dance in the background of Manchester By The Sea. It's the sort of fun lunacy I really enjoy from this show.
