4!Main Characters
5[[folder: Donald Trump]]
6The 45th (and supposedly final) President of the United States: Creator/DonaldTrump.
7----
8* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: He is despised by just about everybody, including his own cabinet. Everywhere he goes, there are people who protest against his presidency and holding up signs calling for his removal and impeachment. Just check out the "Tax Day" sketch. Even some of his own supporters don't think he's a great/intellectual person such as the gun rights supporters who only voted for Trump to keep their guns.
9* AttentionWhore: He gets easily jealous of a mall Santa getting all of the children's attention, prompting him to boot out the original Santa and fill in his shoes.
10* BigEater:
11** He just loves eating (mostly unhealthy comfort foods) up to the point he's overweight. He likes pizza, burgers, fried chicken, burritos, Coke, ice cream, sub sandwiches, pretzels, popcorn, and cinnamon rolls.
12** In addition, Donald Trump in real life posted photos of him happily enjoying Pizza Hut, [=McDonald=]'s and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
13* CatchPhrase:
14** "I'm the president! Can you believe it? Let's roll!"
15** He also tends to call a lot of people "Fake!" such as fake news and fake children at the mall.
16** "Jesus, Mike!"
17** "Excuse me!"
18* ComfortFood: Is frequently seen eating so at his desk.
19* CloudCuckoolander: But he's not even the worst one on the show, Steve Bannon is a bigger one.
20* DirtyCoward: He often uses Mike as a shield in front of whatever troubles face him. Also in his past he dodged a draft by the U.S. military into the Vietnam War.
21* TheDitz: He's horribly incompetent as a president, not to mention he has a crucial misunderstanding of U.S. history and government such as mistakenly claiming Andrew Jackson was the U.S. president during the Civil War (rather than Abraham Lincoln) and mixing up JFK with JK Rowling.
22* FatBastard / FatIdiot: Half of the time he's intentionally taking advantage of his position in order to gain money and power, half of the time he doesn't seem aware of the consequences of his actions, and all of the time he's fat due to being a BigEater.
23* InsaneTrollLogic: Almost nothing he says makes sense or is true such as accusing CNN, NBC and ABC as fake news or hate groups or liars, [[ArtisticLicenseStatistics 75% of white Americans are unemployed]], claiming he's a victim of the Charlottesville riots.
24* InsufferableImbecile: Very much ''so''. He's a complete moron and an absolute jerk with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
25* ItsAllAboutMe: He's always boasting about himself. The sketch "Good Samaritan, Great American" has him saying "Me" [[BrokenRecord non-stop]] until Mike is able to turn that off with a remote control.
26* {{Jerkass}}: He's a bully, and uses his presidential powers to become an even bigger bully.
27* LargeHam: Combined with ManChild and NoIndoorVoice.
28* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: And let's not forget he obtained most of if not all his money through either inheritance or embezzlement. He was born to a very wealthy businessman.
29* TheSlacker: He spends a lot of time on Twitter, playing golf and watching TV even as President. From a physical standpoint, Trump doesn't exercise either and he remains fat (probably even gaining weight) with all that junk food he consumes. Pence tries to pressure him to exercise a little more.
30* SpoiledBrat: He calls the White House "a real dump" even though most of his own supporters can't afford to live anywhere as lavish and expensive as the White House.
31* StayInTheKitchen: Thinks women shouldn't be free outside on weekends because it's laundry time. This could explain why his wife Melania hasn't made an appearance on the show.
32* VillainProtagonist: He's remarkably shallow and shady, yet he's the protagonist of the show.
33[[/folder]]
34
35[[folder: Mike Pence]]
36The Vice President of the United States under Donald Trump's administration. While most of his on-screen presence has him suffering from Trump's cruel tyranny and incompetence, he's proven he's not a nicer guy than Trump either.
37----
38* BeleagueredAssistant: To President Trump, who Pence constantly monitors and has to take care of.
39* ButtMonkey: Is always getting tormented and taken advantage of by Trump.
40* DragonWithAnAgenda / TheStarscream: Pence is always looking forward to Trump's impeachment so that he can take over as the 46th president. This could explain why Pence always puts up with Trump's abuse.
41* TheFundamentalist: He's always pushing his right-wing Christian agenda upon other people. In the "Deck the Malls" sketch while playing one of Santa's elves, he tries to convert a child to Christianity. This of course serves as a TakeThat to Christian adults who tend to force children to attend church and accept religion.
42* HeteronormativeCrusader: He presses for conversion therapy for homosexuals, something even ''Trump'' wouldn't do. This is the premise of the sketch "Make America Straight Again".
43* LaserGuidedKarma: Getting treated like Trump's toilet paper might as well be very deserving to Mike because of his right-wing agenda to push homophobia and Christianity upon the population.
44* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Trump's red.
45* StraightMan: To Trump.
46* VicePresidentWho: Apparently all you can do when you're Trump's Vice President is say Yes to him all the time.
47* YesMan: Although he has some grievances with Trump's actions that he'll admit when Trump is off-camera, he always acts supportive of Trump when they're together.

62----
63* HeWhoFightsMonsters: She says sexual harassment is wrong, but she defends her father who is guilty of doing so.
64* {{Nepotism}}: She represents this by being made (and accepting the position of) Advisor to the President just because she's the President's daughter.
65[[/folder]]
66

80[[folder: Anthony Scaramucci]]
81Trump's former Director of Communications. He's been living inside Trump's couch to hide from General Kelly.
82----
83* RealLifeWritesThePlot: In real life, Scaramucci stated that Steve Bannon sucks his own penis, and he was ultimately fired for distasteful language. On the show, [[spoiler:after finally getting spotted by Kelly and while being taken away, he points out that Bannon is trying to do so]].
84* SayingTooMuch: During the Charades sketch, he won't stop talking when he has to act it out.
85* WhamLine: When Trump states that a father will do anything to protect his child, Mooch replies "That's why I skipped my son's birth".
86[[/folder]]

88[[folder: General John Kelly]]
89The current White House Chief of Staff who is hunting down Scaramucci. He's depicted as a giant.
90----
91* ArchEnemy: He is this to Scaramucci.
92* RentAZilla: He's possibly the size of Godzilla.
93* RuleOfScary: It's ironic how Trump is scared of Kelly even though he has higher power and rank than Kelly does - but it could be that Kelly is physically intimidating to Trump regardless of how much political power Trump has over Kelly.
94* TheUnintelligible: He only speaks in [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} "Blah-blah"s]] to which Trump replied "Good grief!"
95* TheUnreveal: As a giant, only his enormous hand has been shown on-screen pulling away Scaramucci.
