5 plots Hollywood can never use again now that Trump is President

http://www.cracked.com/article_24652_5-plots-hollywood-can-never-use-now-that-trumps-president.html

* "Oh, my god! Did you just see/hear that gaffe? That politician's career is ruined! No way he will ever come back from this!"

* "The guy becoming President is totally inexperienced and is propped up by a shadow-cabinet of friends working behind-the-scenes. I am confident that this man will bring the country together and not do anything stupid."

* "You are smart, serious and a goodhearted person. And your opponent is an entitled douche. He will turn this election into a series of funny, memorable and critical moments, but there's no way you're gonna lose the election against such an obvious asshole."

* Donald Trump cameos.

* Alternate-History and Sci-Fi movies in which the US is ruled by Nazis. Because, why watch a movie about it when you can just turn on the news?

GWB was inserted as a background-character into movies. Obama was, too.

But any movie with Trump as a background-President would immediately break credibility because there's no way Trump would sit back and let the experts handle this.

"Multiple alien spaceships were sighted yesterday. No contact has been made yet and their motives are unclear. President Trump issued a national address in which he promised to make the best peace-deal with the aliens, called for a doubling in military-spending, and called on the Democrats to finally drop the ongoing financial-conflict-of-interest investigations of him in the face of these events. He then proposed holding a conference with the aliens at Mar-a-Lago."
