The President Show

Possibly the best on point trump impression out there. To be honest I didn't have high expectations going in because I immediately suspecting bandwagon riding, but after watching it I have to say that I think it delivers a genuinely funny and considered original point of view. The serious reflective moments that examine trump's inner monologue are particularly noteworthy.

Anthony Atamanuik is a talent to behold. His impersonation is unlike any other and really digs into Trump's soul: a twisted, sad little boy. The President Show is hilarious, brilliantly written and executed and exactly what we need during these dark times. Many have said Trump is so absurd that it's hard to parody him but Atamanuik shows us that's not true. So glad that he has taken his character to the screen, where it belongs for the world to see. Anthony is a genius.

this is a well written show very current and timely often with same day news. the guy who plays Trump is amazing and funny the show always makes me laugh (and cry on the inside, you know why) sometimes i forget that this is an impersonation and not the real thing so that is noteworthy. the show is rapid fire and the interviews are really good i especially liked the Deepak Chopra interview it was very blunt and funny.

I like how all the reviews are either 10 stars or 1 star, really gives you the impression on how this about being pro Trump or anti Trump. Objectively, this show is really pushing the anti-trump sentiment to the extreme, while the lead actor does a near perfect impression of Trump (too stereotypical maybe, but hè that's part of the joke and i like that usually), but that's the only thing i like about it. The jokes are really trying too hard to be funny: -Pence forgot how to sing happy birthday- -Trump cries like a baby and pops his balloons- Like really?? that's how low comedy has gone? Here's the thing, the script isn't even that poorly written but the execution is too damn forced, "like lets make Trump look as bad as possible than people will love it!" Here in the Netherlands everyone seems to hop on this Trump hate circlejerk as well but quite frankly i'm tired of it. Get this American crap off the Dutch cable (comedy central) and might ass well get the Daily show off too, since John Steward left the show is mediocre at best.

So sad, so so sad.

At SNL they understand that sketches must be sketches only and therefore they pop up randomly but not all too frequently. A Trump impression is fun for maximum 4 minutes, how they fail to see this is beyond me.

Regardless if you like Trump or not, this show is pure horse-poo. It is an insult to comedy. It is a very cheap way of scoring points/ratings and a very cheap way of making comedy. Just bully 1 person. In two shows I haven't been able to chuckle or laugh out loud. Perhaps its my taste, but I like to think I appreciate comedy and laugh at just about everything.

I cant imagine people appreciate this show and surely I will make it a point to not watch this again, until they make Comedy great, again! So, sad. So sad.

Edit: I've watched some more episodes and it remains very flimsy and borderline funny. I guess people need shows like this to cope with the reality of the real Donald Trump. It is bad enough Trump is in the White House but what is worse is that he has taken over ALL of my favorite shows. SNL, Maher, Colbert, John Oliver. Trump trump, trump.

This show remains to be of very poor quality and is no more than a cheap knock-off parody. What is worse, it aids to the Trump reality. Americans and the Media don't seem to understand that all the news coverage, all the TV coverage and all the free airtime simply add to his Marketing strategy. All of the attempts to make fun of him still resonate his message. The only way to get him out is by ignoring him completely.
