Or is something else going on?Sometime late Sunday night, Trump’s Twitter account liked a tweet about the HBO show that said, “This is how I wanted tonight’s episode of insecure to end…Damn Molly,” referencing the character played by Yvonne Orji, who has an up-and-down relationship with Rae’s character.

President Donald Trump has done some headline-making things on Twitter, but on Sunday night, he left fans and critics stumped after he liked someone else's tweet for the first time.

On the morning of June 8, there was only ONE tweet that Donald Trump had ‘liked’ on Twitter. The tweet was a reference to the June 7 episode of Insecure on HBO. It’s unclear if the ‘liking’ of the tweet was an accident, or done on purpose, but either way, viewers of the show were totally caught off guard. One fan even took a screenshot of Trump’s ‘like’ and tagged the show’s stars, Issa Rae and Natasha Rothwell.

Kendrick Sampson, an actor on Issa Rae’s HBO comedy “Insecure,” was hit with rubber bullets by Los Angeles police officers during a Saturday protest in response to the death of George Floyd.

How soon is now, is now, and the neon painted landscape strokes to the club beat. That night was more than a sweaty crowded dance floor your friends dragged you to—criminally packed bodies bumping, tossed together—searching for one another.

Kumail Nanjiani teams with Issa Rae and re-teams with his The Big Sick director for a madcap black comedy, now streaming on a Netflix near you.

Issa Rae is proud of Kumail Nanjiani. During her virtual visit to Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday, the Insecure star recalled witnessing the early stages of her The Lovebirds' co-star's shocking fitness transformation, admitting that she's "extremely jealous" of his new physique.

One plus one can occasionally equal too much.

"Why is this guy funny?" is an impossible question to answer, but I think I've figured out why Kumail Nanjiani is guaranteed to get a guffaw outta me every time he opens his mouth. His on-screen persona, from Dinesh on Silicon Valley, to his schmoozes on talk shows and podcasts, is of a sharp, insightful and erudite person… who will then smash his cred into a thousand pieces saying something truly dumb. It's a simple enough gimmick, but it works on me every time.

If you're looking for some new TV shows and movies to watch this week while you're still quarantining, you're in luck. So much exciting content is coming to your queues, from two new Netflix shows to a hilarious comedy movie starring Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani.
