Recap / Our Cartoon President S2E02 "The Party of Trump"

Go To

Trump decides to up the ante on his deplorableness when Ann Coulter complains. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney wants the Republican Party to act more civil.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Disproportionate Retribution:
    • Amy Klobuchar claims that she gaslit an intern until he broke for forgetting to charge her iPad for her.
    • Ann Coulter seems to think that competing against Donald Trump in the 2016 election is enough reason to be arrested.
  • The Ditherer: Susan Collins goes to absurd lengths not to commit to helping Mitt Romney bring civility to the GOP, from moving the goalpost for its own sake, to pretending to be an answering machine, to having herself bricked up inside her own office.
  • Jabba Table Manners: Trump invites Rudy Giuliani to dinner just so he could take notes about how deplorable he can be. He remarks on the boobs of a woman in a portrait nearby, drinks thick wine from the bottle and swallows his cigar in the process, etc.
  • Reverse Psychology: Hillary manages to trick Trump into switching places with her in her cell.
  • Totem Pole Trench: Biden's competitors for the Democratic nomination all stuff themselves into a giant suit under the assumption that their combined charisma will manage to help them outdo Joe Biden. It doesn't work.
