I used to think Alec Baldwin was the quintessential Donald, but Anthony Atamanuik is even better. He's captured Donald's nuances and his non verbal behavior. Its all farce, so no one should take offense.
Initially I wasn't sure how long they can keep the laughs going with an Oval Office format, but they have been able to expand the format and the guest appearances from real Trump critics are brilliant.
I'm also impressed with how up-to-date these sketches are.
Strangely enough, when I watch Trump now I see Atamanuik, so if you are a big Trump supporter, you might want to avoid watching this.

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.
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.

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