I watched this episode twice. The story revolves around Eric's exploitive and emotionally abusive relationship with Heidi, who keeps insisting to her friends that Eric has a good side, and that her decision to become his girlfriend was not a mistake.
Scenes with Donald Trump are interspersed in the episode. At first viewing, I didn't see the connection. When Ryan, McConnell, and Pence show Trump his tanking approval ratings, Trump says, "It's not a problem. See, I know something about societal psychology that you three turd balls don't. Everything's going to be fine."
Heidi can't take the abuse anymore and finally breaks up with Eric. But when her friends say things like, they are glad she finally wised up, they couldn't imagine how she could have kissed Eric, etc., she has second thoughts.
After watching the episode the second time I realized that the Trump scenes are relevant. Eric symbolizes Trump, and Heidi symbolizes Trump voters. The societal psychology that Trump was talking about was the fact that people don't like to admit, even to themselves, that they made a mistake. And when they are ridiculed for their bad choice, even if they realize it was a bad choice, they double down. It's just human nature.
