Sure, the press conference was missing a few things: a pole (with a very high strength-to-weight ratio) and the feats of strength. But the airing of grievances was pure Festivus, which would mean Donald Trump is Frank Costanza.

While the rest of the world is worried about the economy and climate change, Trump can't stop complaining about how Jerry and Elaine didn't say hello to him when they saw him in the city, or that the Seinfelds are trying to keep him out of Del Boca Vista.

And while Trump fixates on minor slights and imaginary transgressions, we're all George, wondering how exactly our lives turned out like this.

There is one difference between Frank and Donald, though. Frank didn't get out of military service.
