Thank you for the context. Excellent reference.

You seriously think Hannibal Lecter would ever, even under penalty of torture, throw his support behind anyone as stupid as Drumpf? The only thing he respects is perspicacity and intellect. Even if (and oh what a ridiculous “if” this would be) Lecter deigned to believe in Fascism, the thought that he’d spend his last words on some other fucker? Laughable. Lecter’s last words would be him basking in his own superiority, listing off personal information and private details, showing just how much he knew about the people in the execution room, and picking at all of their insecurities, then he’d just smile and wait.
