Citizen Jack #1

[history79]

"Citizen Jack isn’t about Trump. Citizen Jack is bigger than Trump. Citizen Jack is about the problems that we have that can allow a Trump to happen. If you’re out there wondering how Donald Trump is a real thing or wondering how Donald Trump hasn’t won the election already, Citizen Jack is about questions that underlie those questions."

Yeah, diabolical machinations are pretty much the only explanation for Trump's success in life.

If by "success" you mean "Inherited a large fortune and turned it into a modest fortune".

The only success he's got is his ability to convince people that he's actually good at anything.

And here I was expecting a serious study of how someone like Donald Trump could even entertain the thought of running for presidency, much less get serious votes all while he makes a show out of the whole deal. ... Then frakkin' beelzebub showed up.

Somethin' tells me Jack is gonna end up in another kind of "hot seat"
by the end of this ordeal.

I know, right?

I dunno, maybe the twist is that the demon lord of hell is actually surprising competent. Like governing over the USA isn't that much different keeping hell in check. Could be some kind of social commentary, maybe.

See, I liked it best when that approach was taken by Randy Milholland in Super Stupor.
