Bob is embarrassed by the prize. He’s from Minnesota, he has a conscience. He has written a few good love songs and some memorable phrases and the Swedes have embraced him as if he were Homer, which he is not. WaPo linkKeillor doesn't really write much about Trump and Minnesota -- instead he focusses on Iowa:

He could deport the migrant workers who are employed in the slaughterhouses and he could get Iowa teenagers to take their place, bonking* hogs in the forehead and cutting their throats and gutting and skinning them.Well, Mr. Woebegotten -- are you saying that the children are all above average, or just that the women are Hillary-strong?
