Donald Trump Sounds Very Annoyed That Everyone Knows Steve Bannon Is the Real President

this is the real president

snip of article


The nation's newest reality show has taken the country by storm. America's Got 1930s Germany Vibes seemed like a joke when it was first announced back in 2015. I mean, what were the odds that anyone would actually watch that? Well, it's now the number-one show in the world (handily beating Arnold's version of The Apprentice), and it's got everything you could want: spilling secrets. Unhinged rants. The threat of a totalitarian regime lurking around every corner. And, of course, secret plots from the people who are really pulling the strings.

You know, sometimes in movies there's a bad special-effect or bad CGI or something clearly doesn't match with the rest. And it breaks the immersion.
One moment you are within the movie, the next moment you are annoyed by how unrealistic this scene just was.

The Trump-Presidency is exactly like that: It's so full of hyperbole and drama, it's no longer realistic. It breaks immersion and THAT makes people treat his Presidency like an annoying TV-show. Because deep down they refuse to believe that something like this could actually be happening in real life.
Come on.
No way this is real.
