Huckabee credits Trump for jump in 'Broadway $$' — ridiculous, but he's not all wrong
Even in this golden age of the unfathomable and illogical tweet, it seemed bizarre.
With deft abbreviation skills, a bit of snark and a pragmatic disregard of punctuation, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee took to Twitter on Aug. 4 to discuss, of all things, the buoyant state of Broadway grosses. And, yet more improbably, to credit them to the efforts of the 45th president of the United States.
"1st yr of @realDonaldTrump presidency," Huckabee wrote, "Broadway $$ shot to all-time record of $1.637B $270M over previous yr. Attendance also shattered the record, even though ticket price rose by $15 to $118 (greedy capitalists!) As of spring, box office receipts up 20 percent.
