Ep 15. The Wall

Our Cartoon President Season 1 Episode 15: The Wall

In this episode, President Trump becomes obsessed with fulfilling his campaign promise of building a border wall between the United States and Mexico. He spends countless hours in his Oval Office brainstorming ways to fund the wall, including selling naming rights and creating a reality show competition for construction companies.

As President Trump's wall obsession grows, his staff begins to worry about the optics of the situation. Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggests the president take a trip to the border to show support for agents and their work combating drug trafficking and illegal immigration. However, the trip is quickly disregarded as Trump becomes more focused on the wall.

Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner try to convince their father to consider more practical solutions, such as investing in technological advancements for border security. However, their voices are drowned out by the president's determination to build a physical wall.

As the episode progresses, we see the toll that the wall obsession is taking on President Trump. He becomes increasingly erratic and detached from reality, ultimately leading to a breakdown during a press conference where he declares himself the "King of the Wall." This scene is interrupted by a brief moment of self-reflection on the President's part where he questions whether he's become more consumed by building the wall than actually serving his country.

Overall, this episode serves as a commentary on the current political climate and the divisive issue of border security. It also provides insight into the inner workings of the Trump administration and the struggles faced by those attempting to steer the president towards more practical solutions.
