All art about Trump will end up being pro-Trump propaganda simply by virtue of writers and directors giving him more depth than he has. There really is nothing else there. He's just a mobster. He has *no* depth. Zero. None. He likes steak and blondes and gold. That's all there is to him.

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Minimally trained isn't even the entirety of the problem. The Murderous Mr Ross was a long-time agent.
