“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” ― Joseph Heller, Catch 22

Madame Secretary, that show did a cool thing with the damage a president might do...

[@kevincarney2860]

Actually, they wrote several plot points that fit this bill. Plus Martin Sheen kinda looks like Trump. Both played characters who came to power in a gridlocked Congress, winning the electoral college vote over the popular vote, and dealing with Russia’s interference in the Middle East poorly. The main difference is that Martin Sheens character was at least inclined towards hearing intelligent advice. Both in real life and in the West Wing, fake presidents talked about the conflicts with WH press corps, complaining about the non stop 24 hr cycle that reduces information and nuance in the name of content production. It was so eerie to see the plot points happen that it gave me an associative recall around this thing I’ve heard called predictive programming. Generate an idea, use it in a story, and see it happen in real life. New ideas can’t be recalled once they are out there, and some ideas are put out there for precisely that reason. To skip their way into public conversation and consciousness and distract from your own idea of what reality should be.
