View submission: Trump and the Folklore of Capitalism
Not to nitpick, but the show didn't come out until 2004. I remember season 1 and the reaction. He wasn't a republican at the time, I can't recall if he was still a democrat or had made an independent run for office while still aligning democrat. But people didn't look at him through the same partisan lense as he was really just a populist variation on Bill Clinton's politics at the time

Yeah, I remember an annoying coworker in 2004 joking around telling everyone, “You’re fired!”
I didn’t think it was funny then, and I had no desire to watch whatever stupid show he was quoting.
I hate that I have to know so much about Trump now.
