Given the oft-repeated meme that the Trump presidency is a reality TV show, I thought up some names for his predecessors' efforts at entertaining.
If we start with Reagan, who was actually a star, although his movies probably never got out of B-grade territory.
So, Ronald Reagan was like John Wayne in a movie about fool's gold and the quest for redemption by the Republican party. I think I can call it Unforgiveable.
Then there was George I, and his masterpiece which I like to think of as A Fistful of Oil Shares, in which a man with no brain saves a town from economic despair by destroying it.
Then at last, Bill came to town; this one was just a simple tale, The Administration, about a man who doesn't have sex, even with his wife. Practically a saint.
George II was a bit like Gomer Pyle goes to Washington, and, well, we've seen that movie too.
Then Obama, the fresh-faced kid from faraway Illinois or somewhere; this one was like The Fresh Prince of Pennsylvania Ave; lots of examination of social problems like racism, drug abuse, a few laughs, then the next episode.
Finally Trump, the president with a brain the size of a goldfish. This one doesn't really have a fixed format because nobody is interested in watching someone watch cable news.
