Watching Salvation

If you haven't seen this series yet, you might want to check out the most recent episodes. It is right out of the Trump playbook. The Vice President becomes President after he slowly poisons the female President. She recovers and when she regains her power and he is thrown out in disgrace, he mounts a populist campaign saying he was framed and she should be "locked up." He communicates with his rabid cult of followers by internet videos who have encircled the White House chanting his slogans. Congress and the Supreme Court seems unable to stop him. He claims he's still president and so does she. The idea is that America is about to go to war with itself again, with two competing presidents just like the Civil War.

Can you imagine what would happen if Cheeto was impeached? It's not a stretch to see him doing exactly the same thing. What seems unthinkable is imaginable now.

Also reminiscent of The President Is Missing (at least the Speaker and the Russia influence)
