If I were trying to write a fictional screenplay for a failed presidency, I literally could not use half of what has happened in the past ten months.
It would be so unbelievable in a fictional setting that people wouldn't be able to suspend their disbelief. They'd get halfway through this movie and walk out and say it was totally not believable because any president with this many failures to his name would have been impeached already.
As I was typing this, I thought the exact same thing. The only way that people would sit all the way through this movie is if it was a Ben Stiller absurd comedy.
Mel Brooks could have pulled it off, but it's too late now.
It's like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Saw some of it with a coworker on a business trip (hotel lounge). He thought it was funny, but I had had too many recent business trips that could have been fodder for the scrip. So I went off to read a book.

Yet here we are ten months in...
Maybe if it was a tragic comedy....
