Dr Evil revealed that he was hired as an “ideas guy” before taking credit for Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall along the border with Mexico.
“The wall. The wall. That was all me. But I wanted it to be a moat filled with spiky blowfish. And I didn’t want the Mexicans to pay for it. I wanted Alec Baldwin to pay for it,” declared Dr Evil, with his trademark sinister laugh.
Asked what he planned to do now he’d left Donald Trump’s cabinet, Dr Evil replied: “I’m going to spend some more time being evil to my family. And of course I’ll be promoting my tell-all book, Fire and Fury and also Evil. And more fire and also magma.”
