At least it's not Rory or Lorelai.

Donald Trump has been compared to a lot of things, but a Gilmore Girls connection is definitely something new.

After Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates when she would not defend his executive order banning refugees and and immigrants from seven major Muslim countries, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee host Samantha Bee found an interesting correlation between Trump's obsession with loyalty and a certain Stars Hollow favorite.

“Remember on Gilmore Girls when Paris Geller staffed the school newspaper with her most loyal friends with no regard for talent level. It’s like that but with the leader of the free world and nukes,” Bee said.

We don't know what's worse, another Donald Trump comparison or not being about to look at Gilmore Girls the same way again.
