Ep 15. Wartime President

Our Cartoon President season 3 episode 15, titled "Wartime President," continues the satirical portrayal of life inside the White House during the Trump presidency. As the country braces for war with Iran, President Trump and his team face a barrage of challenges and decisions.

The episode begins with Trump attending a briefing on Iran's military capabilities. He is bored by the complex information presented to him and interrupts the experts to ask about the possibility of using nuclear weapons. His advisors try to steer him away from such extreme measures, but Trump remains fixated on the idea.

Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump is preoccupied with the possibility of war and its impact on her precious rose garden. She enlists the help of her aide and personal gardener, Maurice, to protect her beloved flowers from the impending destruction of war.

Back in the Oval Office, Trump's advisors debate the best course of action. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo argues for a surgical strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, while National Security Advisor John Bolton advocates for a full-blown invasion. Trump seems torn between the two options and turns to his favorite form of decision-making - a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors.

As tensions between the US and Iran escalate, Trump's approval ratings continue to plummet. In an effort to boost his popularity, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders orchestrates a photo op in which Trump visits a military base and delivers a speech in front of a fighter jet. The plan goes awry when Trump accidentally enters the cockpit and triggers the ejection seat, sending him flying into the sky.

Despite the setback, Trump remains determined to show strength in the face of the Iranian threat. He orders a military strike on Iran, which ends up causing unintended consequences. The episode ends with Trump and his advisors scrambling to contain the fallout from the attack.

Overall, "Wartime President" is a timely and biting commentary on the unpredictable nature of the Trump administration and its approach to foreign policy. The episode's mix of absurd humor and political satire offers a unique perspective on current events and the inner workings of the White House.
