Humor makes any topic easier to talk about. Bruni’s entire column is packed with humor and a big bite of sarcasm. Every paragraph takes this serious topic of Hillary Clinton having an extra toe and effectively humorously gets his point across by using the satirical devices of burlesque, paradox and sarcasm.

Phrases were plagiarized from Michelle Obama’s 2008 physical” and “You won’t believe these toes. Vladimir Putin once offered several Russian oil fields in exchange for them. Paul Manafort drew up the contract, including his 40 percent commission for the swap”, Bruni mocks Donald Trump and his health in order to get readers to think that it’s ridiculous to question Donald Trump. The entire column is a paradox of sorts,
