    Trump is pretty much the poster child for every single negative cliché about US-Americans, it’s wild.

    As a villain in a movie script, he would have been rejected as being too many evil stereotypes stuffed into a single person.

      I’ve been repeating this story for a while now.

      Right after the 2016 election there was a panel discussion that included the creative teams behind all the biggest political shows on TV. House of Cards; Veep; The West Wing; Scandal, and all the rest.

      Every person up there said the same thing; if they’d had a character who said that ‘he liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be shown as being hated by all Americans, and thrown into the gutter.
