Go To

Trump's popularity drops like a rock thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is living in his basement and it's effecting his chances for the Presidency.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Blind Obedience: Even as Trump admits that he doesn't care about anyone but himself and that the coronavirus is killing everyone because of his negligence, the supports at his rallies still cheer and clap for him. It gets so ridiculous, he admits to his contempt for them and they still cheer for him.
  • Comical Overreaction: Ivanka gets sunburnt on his face and she acts like she's dying.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Even OAN, a media news group more far-right and pro-Trump than Fox News, acknowledges that Trump's mishandling of the pandemic is a bad thing.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: Trump throws a parade declaring victory over the Coronavirus, which raises his approval ratings. Unfortunately, it also causes a massive spreading of the virus and Truump's approval ratings takes a nosedive into the toilet.
    Rudy Giuliani: And not just any toilet, my toilet!
  • The Hermit: Joe Biden has resigned himself to living in his basement and doing all of his campaigning from there. He won't even agree to go out and campaign unless there's a drain in the floor that he can piss in.
  • Refuge in Audacity: Rudy Giuliani and Sean Hannity run with this, telling Trump to lie so hard, people will go with it because it would be too ridiculous to think they knowingly came up with it as a lie. Trump's idea is to declare victory against COVID-19 as though they had won a war against another country.
