Sinking in a reflecting pool

This shit sounds like something Sophocles would have written before it was adapted by the Coen Brothers.

Actually, both these disastrous trump terms are like a Coen Brothers movie. So absurd. Not only does someone go unpunished for trying to take over the country and stealing government secrets for personal use. The country votes to put him back into power. The plot involves a child sex trafficking ring, wealthy cronies dismantling the government, arrest of journalists, speech suppression, and much more. But much of it is of little concern to most Americans until prices skyrocket.

But if the Coen Brothers made that movie, they'd be accused of ripping off "idiocracy" by Mike Judge. And that leads to a question - Can Mike Judge sue the current administration for stealing his idea?
