The Trump Family

President Donald Trump

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trump_with_empthy_hat.png

Each and every one of you voted for me, and the ones who didn't, you kinda wanted to see what would happen. And it's happening more than you could have imagined.

Voiced by: Jeff Bergman

The 45th President of the United States and patriarch of the First Family.

Abusive Parents: He once slapped Don Jr. when he underordered at Chili's. He also rips out Eric's hair in rage when he was going broke and blamed him when he hurt his wrist doing so.
Big Eater: Commandeers Air Force One to visit a KFC drive through, much to General Kelly's chagrin.
Blatant Lies: He has a habit of telling outrageous lies to the public, an example being that he breastfed his sons.
Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He is clearly trapped in his own little world.
Even Evil Has Standards: The episode "G-7" shows him being afraid to hurt journalists, such as Chuck Todd.
Fat Bastard: And how! The biggest and meanest character.
The Fighting Narcissist: Or at least, he'd like to be. Episode 10 sees him attempting to hone his baseball skills purely to spite detractors, but he ultimately gives up on a whim.
Trump: Baseball's canceled! I'm not longer in it. Ratings are terrible.
Feigning Intelligence: Has moments of this every episode—but particularly in episode 11, when he watches every season of Frasier in order to sound smarter.
Freudian Excuse: Sure, he might have despotic ambitions and be sympathetic to the odd Neo-Nazi, but he has severe daddy issues!
Hauled Before A Senate Subcommittee: In several episodes, due to his various crimes.
Ignored Aesop: Most of the arcs he has in the show is his administration trying to change his image to appeal to specific demographics or instilling some sort of virtue into him in order to keep him from losing the oval office, but the episode will usually end with him having learned that he should just be himself. Donald being Donald, "being himself" means going back to being a racist, misogynistic Fat Bastard with no filter or impulse control. It doesn't help that by being a rich white boomer, he rarely has to pay for the consequences of his actions. The series default is basically his administration making excuses for his boorish behavior and this is all a part of the comedy.
Inferiority Superiority Complex: For so many reasons. Craves his father's approval, wishes he was accepted by the Ivy-League educated elite, only ran for President because Barack Obama joked at his expense once...
In Touch with His Feminine Side: The episode "First Pitch" shows him trying to deny his various... feminine traits.
Karma Houdini: Rarely faces consequences for his actions.
Knight Templar: He seems to genuinely believe that all of his actions are completely rightful.
Major Injury Underreaction: In "Trump Tower-Moscow" when he gets impaled by a shovel.
Putin: Donald! There are a lot of vital organs where that shovel is!
Trump: Hey, this the healthiest thing I've ever put in my body.
Never My Fault:
Trump: I'm starting to think that maybe... just maybe... this entire thing... is all your fault.
President Evil: He has committed many horrible deeds, including putting children in cages.
Psychopathic Manchild: Acts like a spoiled child most of the time.
Racist Grandpa: Has made several racist comments, and is elderly.
The Slacker: When he's not directing people to deal with his nonexistent secretary, he's sneaking out of the White House.
Trademark Favorite Food: Hot dogs (or at least the sausages).
Villain Protagonist: Is undoubtedly the main villain, while also being the main character.
Villain with Good Publicity: 40% of the country's electorate backs him.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: All he ever wanted was his father's approval, to the point where he often hallucinates the ghost of Fred Trump berating him.
Trump: Guys, it's gonna be fine as long as my dead dad doesn't show up and tell me that I'm trash and the only reason I got into Wharton was because of him. And that hasn't happened in four minutes!

Melania Trump

You know when you make a bad choice, but it's too late to back out, so you invest your whole being into a worthless sack of shit you just know will ruin your life?

Voiced by: Cody Lindquist

Donald's long-suffering third wife. Formerly a model, and Slovenian-born.

Awful Wedded Life: It's pretty clear she only married Trump for his money and plans to take all his fortune when he dies.
Cloudcuckoolander: Apparently oblivious to the dumpster fire of an administration taking place around her, Melania's main concern is maintaining her trendy New Yorker lifestyle.
Gold Digger: Heavily implied in "Wealth Gap", when she considers leaving Donald for several richer billionaires.
Happy Marriage Charade: With Donald. She alternates between resenting him and being outright in denial about it.
Sensual Slav: Albeit with none of the overtly sinister elements, but she's a stylish, pretty, Eastern European lady.
Suicide as Comedy: Seems to think suicide is her only way out of the White House, but it's played for laughs.
Melania: [when she mistakenly thinks Ellen DeGeneres has died] What?! I just saw her today! Ellen, take me with you!

Donald Trump Jr.

Dad, I consider myself an alpha male with rhinoceros skin, but right now this lil' dinosaur needs some help.

Egomaniac Hunter: A big game enthusiast who aspires to feed an antelope its own ass.
Freudian Excuse: While he denies it, his father's negligent parenting has left Don with serious anger and attachment issues.
Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Whenever he does anything that might lead someone to believe he's In Touch with His Feminine Side, his immediate reaction is to... overcompensate.
Junior: [sobbing when he thinks Eric is leaving] Oh, shit, man. You made my eyes gay! Fuck you, Eric! I love you. Nobody look at me!
Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Being Donald's son, a lot of his childhood is ripe with physical and psychological abuse and neglect, yet it's all Played for Laughs.
I Have Many Names:
Junior: Previous aliases include D-T-J, His Royal Drinkiness, Señor Bong, The Freak, 2 Fast 2 Junior-ous, and Sir Shits-Himself.
I Just Want to Have Friends: When his motive isn't "Well Done, Son" Guy, it's this.
Manchild: He's a married father in his 40's, yet he talks and behaves like a Fratbro going to keggers and humiliating nerds.
Men Don't Cry: Believes this as an "alpha male". It doesn't stop him from bursting into tears whenever he doesn't get his way.

Eric Trump

All I have are my handsome gums and 28 credits toward my ventriloquism degree.

The second son and youngest child of Donald Trump and his first wife Ivana. Though childish and not the brightest, like all members of the Trump family, he has his darker moments.

Embarrassing Middle Name: His full name is Eric A. Trump, A as in Avocado.
Manchild: He has his own bedtime, and needs his father to give him a bath.
Pink Means Feminine: Inverted. He is an adult male who wears a pink sweater.
Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Junior might see Eric as the sensitive guy to his manly man, but it's actually the other way around (surprising though that is, considering how gormless Eric can be).
Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Neither he nor Lara Trump understand why she agreed to marry him.
The Unfavorite: Donald is not afraid to show how much he hates his son.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Though all of Donald's children crave his approval (and never receive it), Eric goes the furthest in his pursuit of it, volunteering in Episode 2 to serve as an official impersonator for his father.
Eric: I can get sent anywhere.
Donald: Okay.
Eric: For God knows how long.
Donald: Great.
Eric: You might never see me again!
Donald: Jesus, Eric, stop drilling. You hit oil.
Ventriloquism: The episode Supreme Court shows him wanting to be a ventriloquist. He ends up being put in charge of a ventriloquism school (which was mostly a money laundering front).

Ivanka Trump

All I wanted was to introduce Daddy at the 2020 RNC, inherit the Trump dynasty, and live for 10,000 years in a stainless steel orbiting dollhouse!

Voiced by: Emily Lynne

The middle child of Donald Trump and his first wife Ivana, Ivanka is unquestionably her father's favourite. She's extremely preoccupied with her fashion brand.

Go-Getter Girl: Her main goal.

Ivanka: My values are American values and the duty, love of family, smart, good scarves, fragrance, children, inspiration, and genuine human emotions with Ivanka Trump, soft-shell outerwear with a belt for all.
World's Most Beautiful Woman: To hear her father creepily tell it, she's this.

Fred Trump

Voiced by: Jim Santangeli

Donald Trump's deceased father who appears as a verbally abusive hallucination. Flashbacks show he was just as disparaging towards Donald as Donald imagines him to be.

Abusive Parents: Trump mention that when he did anything remotely feminine, Fred would put him in a dress and call him Diane for a year. He's also happily called him trash in front of him to his work friends. He's no better as grandparent, telling his grandkids to hurt themselves if they try to help people.
Companion Cube: He prefers a cigar named "David" to actual people.
Freudian Excuse: Is this for Donald.
Lack of Empathy: "Closing Arguments" reveals he instructed his grandsons to electrocute themselves with a toaster if they ever thought about helping others.

Lara Trump

Ugh! Amateurs! Step aside and let a real psycho biddy show you how to limbo under the legal line of slander.

Voiced by: Kate Berlant

Trump campaign advisor and Eric's wife, who kinda scares him.

Dramatic Thunder: Introduced this way.
Malicious Slander: Among other things, she spreads the claim that Elizabeth Warren is being possessed by the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein.
Parenting the Husband: Given her husband's Eric, it's not surprising she has to do this.
What Does She See in Him?: Marrying Eric is treated as proof she's Ax-Crazy. Even she isn't sure why she married him.

Bernie Sanders

Meals on Wheels won't stop chasing my campaign bus.

The scruffy, socialist senator from Vermont.

Alter Kocker: Sanders qualifies as this, having grown up a working-class Jew in 1940s Brooklyn, in common with Chuck Schumer.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He acts curt and unsociable to most characters, but he is still goodhearted and is not above apologizing.
Ungrateful Bastard: After dropping out of the Democratic Primaries, he freely admits to his constituents that they're the kind of people who he crosses the street to avoid and claims that the rest of the country finds them to be extremely annoying. Could also be seen as Brutal Honesty.
Verbal Tic: Has a habit of saying "1%" a lot.

Elizabeth Warren

Look at me. I was a rising star, then people found out I told one weird lie a thousand times, and now no one will look me in the eye.

Pete Buttigieg

Bonjour, mi amigos. So, who wants to make their case for V.P. first?

Voiced by: Matt Rogers

Former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana and a candidate for President.

The Baby of the Bunch: Sometimes treated this way as the youngest of the 2020 Democratic candidates. He sleeps with a firetruck blanket and is animated with a slightly oversized suit jacket that makes him look like a kid dressing up in his dad's clothes.
Nancy Pelosi: I'm not talking to politico's Doogie Howser.
Everyone Has Standards: While he admits to having a lust for power, he puts his foot down at going to sleazy private islands with Bill Clinton and Alan Dershowitz.
Gratuitous Spanish: Though his translation of "do not resuscitate" as "huevos rancheros" implies he isn't as fluent as he claims.
Insufferable Genius: He is constantly reminding people of his education and ability to speak multiple languages.
Mayor Pain: The people of South Bend apparently burn him in effigy every week.
Miles Gloriosus: Asks his campaign team to edit his war photos to make it look like there's not a Pizza Hut just out of frame.

Suddenly Shouting: Does this, due to her aggressive nature.
Un-person: She once did this to an intern who forgot to charge her iPad.

Beto O'Rourke

Other Democrats

Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nancy_and_chuck.JPG

We're the Democratic Party. We don't do things. We let the other guys do things, then look at what they did and say, "What are ya gonna do?"

Voiced by: Thomas Whittington and Emily Lynne

The top Democrats in Congress—Senate Minority Leader (later Majority Leader) and House Minority Leader (later Speaker of the House), respectively. They are the main opposition to Trump, but are cluelessly out-of-touch with the young vote.

Alter Kocker: Schumer qualifies as this (even if the accent is less pronounced than most examples), having grown up a working-class Jew in 1940s Brooklyn, like Sanders.
The Alcoholic / Wine Is Classy: Pelosi, in her downtime.
Corrupt Politician: While this tends to be a given for the series, it's all the more noticeable for Chuck and Nancy because Democratic voters hate them for it, much of their b-plots being them trying and failing to keep their base without having to actually listen to them.
Nancy Pelosi: We're having trouble convincing our base to vote for us despite offering them nothing in return.
*Crack!* "Oh, My Back!": In "Election Day" when they get on their knees to pray for Biden's win.
Laborious Laziness: Despite essentially running the entire Democratic Party, they go to great pains to avoid actually doing their jobs. When they manage to win over the youth vote with AOC's help, they are paralyzed by all of the sudden attention and cave to Bloomberg's request to cease campaigning on popular policies without a second thought.
Neutrality Backlash: All they care about is bipartisanship, which usually means giving Republicans everything they want with nothing but a disapproving finger-wag. Because of this, other Democratic Politicians and voters hate their guts.
Old Windbag / The Bore: Tend to talk about stereotypical old people interests even during meetings with Donald, leaving the impression that they are unfocused.
Pointy-Haired Boss: They are laughably incompetent at their jobs.
Platonic Life-Partners / Those Two Guys: They are rarely seen without each other.
Strongly Worded Letter: Pelosi and Schumer's ineffective weapon of choice.
Technologically Blind Elders: They struggle to open an email attachment without Pete Buttigieg's help and they nearly burn down the White House trying to use a microwave.
Totally Radical / Slave to PR / Entertainingly Wrong: Chasing the youth vote is definitely not their specialty despite their obsession, as evidenced by their debut of the Establishment Democrats’ incredibly long-winded default slogan for 2018.

Barack Obama

Joe, the DNC is like a family, and I'm the wise grandfather you only see on Christmas.

Voiced by: Godfrey (season 1), Iman Crosson (season 2), James Monroe Iglehart (singing)

The most recent U.S. president before Donald Trump. Obama left office with a 60% approval rating and upon doing so he organized efforts to promote opposition towards Trump's policies.

Attack Drone: His weapon of choice, whether against terrorists, Innocent Bystanders, or "marketing dorks".
Determinator: Despite his strong ties to Biden, especially since Biden was his vice president, Obama was holding off on endorsing him until the convention for the Democratic nomination. Many people erroneously assumed that Obama outright refused to endorse Biden over Trump for president, but the truth was Obama was waiting until the primaries were concluded. Obama has now officially endorsed Biden for president.
Odd Friendship: With Joe Biden.
Only Sane Man: In a show full of insane, over-the-top politicians and public figures, Obama might be the most level-headed and sensible, at least by comparison.
Precision F-Strike: After thinking that if he could take back the insults he made at Trump’s expense in the White House dinner that lead to Trump running for president and destroy democracy he would, he ultimately decides “Actually, no I wouldn’t. Fuck that guy”.
Reasonable Authority Figure: He's more level-headed and prudent than Trump and even the other Democrats.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He feels uncomfortable around Biden having to scream every single personal detail of his life, so he asks the waiter for his almonds to-go and leaves the dinner table.

Hillary Clinton

Did someone say "likability problem"?

Voiced by: Jen Spyra

Former First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, and 2016 Democratic nominee.

Ambiguous Disorder: Since she lost the 2016 election, she's suffered some kind of delusion, believing she is the president.
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: In Election Special 2018, she built and operated a giant robot in her likeness.
Crazy Cat Lady: In "Space Force", she dresses up her cats as her presidential cabinet.
Creepy Monotone: Speaks this way.
Drowning My Sorrows: With wine and Xanax after losing the 2016 election.
Giftedly Bad: In "Senate Control", Schumer and Pelosi use her as an "agent of chaos" to help lose Senate races.
Kick the Dog: Drove several hours to Trump's impeachment trial to tell Bernie to "eat shit."
Totally Radical: Can't let go of referencing Pokémon GO and dabbing.
White-Dwarf Starlet: Her "Hillary 2020" campaign shows her as very reluctant to give up the spotlight.

Bill Clinton

Welcome to the impeachment club, little buddy. Isn't it crazy they always impeach you for the least bad thing you did?

Voiced by: James Adomian

Former President and Hillary's husband.

Dirty Old Man: His history of sexual misconduct is a constant threat to his wife's career.
Evil Sounds Raspy: Has a weird raspy voice, and has committed evil acts.

Chelsea Clinton

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chelsea_7.png

Voiced by: Anna Drezen

Only child of Hillary and former US President Bill Clinton.

Alliterative Name
Only Sane Employee: Of her mother's proposed '20 campaign. She's the only one who sees trouble coming with using Huma Abedin and - more to the point - her husband Anthony Wiener.
"Well Done, Daughter!" Girl: The episode Hillary 2020 showed her wanting to make her mom proud.
Chelsea: (to her mom) I just wanted to be a leader, like you!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

As famous old guy Peter Parker once said, "With great power comes great responsibility."

Voiced by: Alise Morales

The young socialist representative of New York's 14th district.

Eat the Rich: Her plan for the Democratic Party includes something she likes to call "Guillotine Time".
Only Sane Woman: She considers herself this.
Straw Liberal: Believes in replacing prison cell doors with beaded curtains, providing everyone with government-issued breast milk until the age of 26, and Game of Thrones written by women.
Verbal Tic: "Henny", especially in early appearances.

Michael Bloomberg

The Bore: He tries to sell himself as a "billionaire populist" like Trump, but he's too stiff and uncharismatic to pull it off.
Corrupt Corporate Executive: He's the owner of a multi-billion dollar corporation and has done some less-than-savory things in his time.
Faux Affably Evil: Bernie calls him a "bloodless corporate shill posing as a humble mayor."
Greed: The only reason he ran for President is so he wouldn't have to pay more in taxes.
"Not So Different" Remark: He openly admits that he's barely any different from Trump.
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: He only became a frontrunner in the primary because he's a billionaire; one campaign ad has him admit to basically attempting to buy the election.
Shameless Self-Promoter: He floods the airwaves with nonstop campaign ads, and even tries to derail the Democratic primary debate to turn it into another commercial for his campaign.
Sheltered Aristocrat: He tells voters via commercial that they will never meet him in person.
Status Quo Is God: He claims that the best way to beat Trump is "to vote for someone nominally different than him so you [voters] can feel better about yourself while the world stays exactly the same."

Howard Schultz

Ambiguously Human: Caused the Clintons' television to malfunction, the lights to turn off, and the temperature to lower simply by entering the room.

Other Republicans

Mike Pence

Affably Evil: Acts kind to most characters, despite being a main antagonist.
Ambiguously Gay: Makes a comment in the first episode that might suggest this (although the audiobook narrator could be female).
Pence: I would've joined them, but my impure thoughts for an audiobook narrator forced me to take shelter in the arms of god for the evening.
Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: In "Wealth Gap", Pence treats using his authority to protect wildlife preserves in exchange for $800 for his super-pack from environmentalists as though he has crossed the threshold into corruption.
Mike Pence: May God and the Koch Brothers have mercy on my soul.
Divine Right of Kings: He is a firm believer that leaders are chosen by God, therefor it's considered blasphemous for him to go against Donald Trump whenever he has any objections against his decisions no matter how objectionable. It doesn't help that a lot of the things Trump says and does conflicts with his morality.
Informed Poverty: He is treated as such by the rest of the Trump Administration, he and Karen living modestly and treating going shopping for candles and nutmeg as though they've won it big and are splurging. Being Vice President in a political party infamous for its wealthy elites, the validity of this is questionable.
Politically Incorrect Villain: He believes that women pumping their own gas is a crime, punishable by death and that women's product stores should be kept in deserts. He's also incredibly homophobic.
Token Religious Teammate: Takes his beliefs VERY seriously.
Vice President Who?: According to Trump, it's the Eric of cabinet positions.

Karen Pence

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karen_clapping.png

Affectionate Nickname: Her husband Mike Pence calls her "Kare-Bear."

Stephen Miller

Immigrants are flooding our borders, increasing the competition for women attracted to men who are 33 but look 63. Not me, I'm fine.

Voiced By: Gabriel Gundacker

Trump's advisor and speechwriter, an intense alt-right Psycho for Hire.

Ambiguously Gay: His admiration for Donald Trump often veers into the sexually sadomasochistic, often trying to fill in for whatever role his wife Melania is meant to play. And that's not even going into his Straw Misogynist tendencies, thinking they're all Gold Diggers who're only good for being inseminated.
The Friend Nobody Likes: Even other white supremacists spit in his food.
Friendless Background: Parodied.
Miller: I'd just started Santa Monica High, and I'd never felt more alone. The kids called me names like "Mr. Intolerant" and "The Guy Reading Mein Kampf."
Sexier Alter Ego: In "The Best People" he becomes Washington DC's new it boy, "Stephan Millar", by wearing a toupee and toning down his racist views.

Mike Pompeo

Voiced By: Bob Powers

Trump's Secretary of State, a monotone ditz and sometime White House punching bag.

Butt-Monkey: Has been kicked in the gonads, run over by a golf cart, and almost fed to ants for his coworkers' stress relief or just amusement.
Closet Geek: Apparently a fan of the Star Wars novelizations.
Cloud Cuckoolander:
Pompeo: Sorry I've been M.I.A. I followed what I thought was a monarch butterfly for 46 miles, but it turned out to be a Butterfinger wrapper caught in an air stream.
You Are Fat: Subject to many of these insults from Trump, ironically a Fat Bastard himself.

Kellyanne Conway

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kellyanne_4.png

Voiced By: James Adomian

Mildly insane junior senator from Texas.

Ambiguously Human: Eats birds alive, has poisonous beard hairs, and doesn't show up in photos.
Attention Whore: Whenever he shows up, expect him to shout his name several times and make everything about himself
Beard of Sorrow: Grows this in Season 2 to replicate the one his real-life counterpart acquired.
Butt-Monkey: Is mentioned several times to be this.
Trump: If it gets you out of my bathroom I'll tell people you're not that bad of a guy so they stop judging a book by it's odor.
Cruz: That's gotta be the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
Pokémon Speak: Partially, in that his name is his catchphrase, but he is able to say other things.

Alex Jones

The host of the far-right conspiracy website InfoWars who has a mixed to positive opinion of Trump and promotes false conspiracy theories plus dubiously beneficial vitamins and pills for profit.

Cloud Cuckoolander: Unless of course he actually is mentally sane but is selling hoax conspiracies for money.

Ann Coulter

A conservative commentator who dislikes the racially and religiously diverse melting pot the United States has become. Due to her extreme views, her presence is mostly restricted to Fox News or smaller news networks.

Absolute Xenophobe: She thinks America takes in too many immigrants per year, has said on Twitter that all minorities (including East Asians) are less qualified for college than Whites, has even said that "Asians and Arabs specialize in mass murder" while Mexicans specialize in family incest and she miscalculated there must be currently 30 million illegal immigrants in the U.S rather than 11 to 12 million.
Attention Whore: She's essentially the female counterpart of Alex Jones.
Blonde Republican Sex Kitten: Though unlike most versions of this trope, she's trying to be more of a leader and revolutionary than just a passive follower.
Boomerang Bigot: She's a woman, but she's criticized the idea of women being allowed to vote and attacks feminism as creating an anti-male bias within society.
Church Militant: She makes no secret that she prefers America to stay white, Christian and conservative. Not only that, she encouraged the U.S. to invade Middle Eastern countries and forcibly convert them to Christianity.
Conspiracy Theorist: All her wild claims about ethnic minorities creating violence and rape in the United States have been shot down as hoaxes and lies she spewed just for money and publicity.
Hypocrite: She vigorously campaigned for Trump to get elected, but then when Trump couldn't get Congress to build the wall she started verbally attacking Trump herself.

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Discussed in "Culture War".
Romney: Back at Bain Capital, I didn't make a lot of friends. I'd roll into town, and the next day, the only thing left was a brothel and a soup kitchen ... But my business liked me, and that was the only friend I needed.
Everyone Has Standards: He's willing to defend many of his party's worst actions, but is disgusted by Trump's rudeness and open racism.

Susan Collins

Susan is unavailable for comment.

The indecisive senator of Maine.

Disproportionate Retribution: After Susan Collins calls him out in front of a large group of people, Brett's response is to burn her Restaurant/Bar to the ground.

Prone to Tears: He believes this to be a good solution to his problems.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Susan Collins' Blue.

Fox and Friends

Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade are the hosts of President Trump's favorite talk show.

Curious Qualms of Conscience: In the pilot, Kilmeade rates Trump's presidency a 9.9 out of 10, because a tiny part of his brain is screaming that all of it is completely wrong.
- Steve Doocy might suffer from some kind of subconscious guilt as well, given his comment in "Militarization" about drinking coffee to "avoid sleep and the torturous dreams that come with it".

Internet Jerk: He's polite face to face, but once made an entire website for cruelly judging people's looks.

World Leaders

Vladimir Putin

The President of Russia.

Justin Trudeau

The liberal, handsome Prime Minister of Canada, a rival of Trump's.
