Trumpidiocy. An average American is selected by the psychologists to be the guinea pig for a top-secret program, and advances five months into the future and discovers a society so incredibly amazed that they bought into the bullshit of a President who is easily the dumbest leader who ever lived. ---

How about just 2 hours of watching flies swarm around a pile of bullshit? ---

I see one glaring problem with your thesis. The majority of people (AFIACT) did not buy into said bullshit. ---

If I were Queen Of The World, there would be no mention of Trump anywhere, ever, in any format until he was dead and buried. He needs to be thoroughly and completely shunned because he sees any mention, no matter how damning, as a positive thing. He feeds on it. Shunning = Do Not Feed The Troll! ---

As long as it’s not like my idea. A musical called _Springtime for Trump: A Gay Romp With Donny and Ivanka at The White House_ Edited to add - Oops, that’s Melania? Edited again - No, had it right the first time. ---

He feeds on it. While this has it’s allure, I feel we are missing an opportunity. For one, we should hear him mentioned when he is being prosecuted and convicted. And, in a “be careful what you wish for” fairy tale way, once he is incarcerated, he should have a camera pointed at him 24/7/365 that is broadcast live (yes, even _THEN_) but the sound should be off, so he can’t rant to his followers. ---

Not a movie. A modern rock opera. A retelling of Faust with an orange Mephistopheles. ---

BTW, the OP, I should have said this, was a rewrite of the description of the movie Idiocracy ---

Hmmm, yes, that does have possibilities! ---

May I coin the word Presiduncy so that your movie can have a subtitle like “The Presiduncy’s Tale” or so? I would love to draw the posters for that movie. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > I see one glaring problem with your thesis. The majority of people (AFIACT) did not buy into said bullshit. Around here pre-election there were lots of Trump 2020 banners with the tagline “No More Bullshit”. That many of his supporters believed his schtick not only wasn’t bullshit, but was the antithesis of bullshit requires some amazing mental gymnastics. Or some very powerful propaganda-drug.
