In reply to the discussion: Is Trump the "Supidest Person" ever to become President of the United States? [View all]jmowreader
(53,302 posts)President Camacho was able to make a course correction when he realized he was wrong; when Frito, Rita and the cameraman were able to get photos of the crops up on the Jumbotron, President Camacho halted the Rehabilitation, pardoned Joe and promoted him to vice president. Trump would have had Rita and Frito executed by bone saw for daring to interfere with an executive decision.
The essence of President Camacho is he was a good but uneducated man who innately knew how to motivate people. Watch the video you posted again: at the beginning of his address, the House of Representin' was ready to tear him from limb to limb; at the end of it, they would have walked through fire for him. The way he did things wouldn't have gone over well in 21st Century America, but it was very effective in the 26th Century.
The essence of Donald Trump is he's a man who's had every advantage in life and squandered them all in the pursuit of personal aggrandizement and wealth.
