Go To

The 2018 Midterm Election is at hand and the Trump Administration are working like hell to keep themselves in office. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer try to reign in AOC.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Epic Fail: Apparently Don Jr. had been very public about his family's collusion in Russia during the 2016 election. Special mention goes to him singing it with Maggie Haberman in the same elevator.
  • Fear Song: "Fear", a song sung by Don Jr. encouraging his father to cause a Scare Campaign for the mid-terms.
  • Humongous Mecha: Hillary Clinton had created a giant mechanized version of herself as part of a publicity stunt in the event that she became President. When Don Jr. and Eric find it, they use it to launch a scare campaign to make everyone think the Democrats are destroying cities.
  • Karma Houdini: The Trump Administration launch a Scare Campaign so effective, it causes anarchy in the streets. They also stole Hillary-Bot, using it to go on a rampage and killing hundreds and causing untold property damage. Does anyone face any consequences for any of it? Not one bit.
  • Literal Metaphor: The Hillary-Bot was made to literally break the glass-ceiling of the Java Center to celebrate the election of America's first female president.
  • Scare Campaign: Most of the episode has Trump assembling a team of paranoid white guys who stir up the country's Republican voters.
