Weird. I always thought that was Rainier Wolfcastle who said that. He was sort of the Simpsons universe version of Arnold Schwartzenegger. And the same actor did the voice of Arnold that normally does Wolfcastle.
At the very beginning of the game you get presented with 2 bills to choose from. "Fuck Cancer" is the official name of the bill that cures cancer. The other one ends world hunger and is called "Let Them Eat Cake".
I would love if we had a president like the guy from Designated Survivor, someone who cared more about doing the best job for the people without his ego being the focus. Which actually might also be true about Comacho
Normally fiction is based in reality. It'd take some stupid writers to take the host of The Apprentice and make him president. That'd just be silly. What kind of policy would he even have? American voters vote based on policy not personality, so having that is clearly important.
Walternate from Fringe. Absolutely beautifully acted and exactly what I'd expect from a man who had his child abducted from a parallel version of himself.
True story. After the 2016 election, there was a panel discussion. They invited the creators of all the top political TV show; West Wing; Veep; House of Cards; Scandal, and others. Every participant said the same thing; that if they'd had a character say that he 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured' the networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be kicked to the curb by the whole nation. Trump is stranger than fiction
Michael Wilson from Metal Wolf Chaos. What other politician is gonna suit up in a giant mech and fight the rebelling vice president in a giant space battle?
Roland Crane from Ni no Kuni 2. I didn't played much, but right at the start he got offed by missile and that's the best thing US president ever did.
There's also Cthulhu, though afaik he never gets elected because his slogan "vote for the greater evil" means his followers always vote for republican or democrat instead.
