Oh, that photoshop was all my doing.

You have to look at the picture. I made the fallen figure Uncle Sam, which explains the comment by Trump about a fraudulent relative, and then them comic irony that he would seek to deport him. (The Truth Social post was invented by me.)

I tried making him fully visible with Chatgpt, and it simply could not get it right. But clearly what i settled on was too subtle, because a few others were similarly confused.

How is anyone taking this seriously? (You are the third). I photoshopped in Uncle Sam as the person who fainted, to represent the United States right now. I completely made up the Trust Social post.

What I wonder is: How many years in the future after Trump will it have to be for a political show is to be fictional in the show's present and yet incorporate Trump in the real past and all of his historical after effects?

a few references to Russia, but the Ukraine War -- I don't think so. I haven't heard one reference to Gaza. (I remember they made up a war with Khazakhstan in the old "West Wing" to be a stand-in for the first Iraq War.)

because it would be about nothing but the chaos he's inducing in every segment of the polity if they did. But it's not totally fictional in regard to the past - they can mention Eisenhower, Clinton, even Obama. There are many references to Iraq, several about Afghanistan,
