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.

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.

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.

I didn't have high hopes for this. I figured it would be redundant and also lack content. However, there always seems to be new and fresh material every week to create satire over. Like most shows, each episode gets a little better. The impersonation of trump is the best around at the moment. His fan base may not appreciate the show, but all presidents, regardless of party affiliation, has a little fun poked at them. I am surprised that they are able to get guests on the show from the Republican party, yet the banter is good.

This show is very smart. They touch upon very serious issues in a hilarious way.
