  Trump is running for the presidency and/or prison. That is a plot line that no decent novelist would embrace. It’s just too stupid. It’s light on maturity and big on grandeur. On the other hand, we don’t think of Trump as having any creative abilities at all, unless you consider decorating all your living spaces with golden toilets, golden chandeliers, and garish self portraits, creative. So in a sense this reality show that we are all being forced to engage in, ‘The Presidency Or Prison’, is a product of the garish imagination of a creatively handicapped man, a man who believes that at age 80 dying his hair strawberry blond and combing it over in a way that defies science and logic is a good look. The plot fits Trump's mind but it doesn't fit us.

Too stupid for a novel. Maybe. There are some pretty stupid novels.
But certainly not too stupid for a series on any of the streaming services...

Good point. The stupider the better.
