    I’m not a Newsom fan but this is just an absurd thing to say. It would be a feat for anyone to be as corrupt as Trump. If you wrote a book with a villain as openly corrupt as Trump, it would be panned as unrealistic.

      The clearly said the system wouldn’t be less corrupt. It just so happens that the system isn’t corrupt enough for the pedo president so he’s even working outside of the already rampantly corrupt system

      If you wrote a book with a villain as openly corrupt as Trump, it would be panned as unrealistic.

      Now I kinda want a story where the villain commits all of Trump’s crimes and keeps getting away with it, but has absolutely nobody cheering for him.

      It would feel like those videos of sitcoms with the laugh tracks removed. Just an uneasy moment of tension after every action, like they’re in a completely different reality.
