When Anthony Atamanuik’s President Show aired its series premiere back in April, the episode included a segment where Atamanuik’s Trump got extremely excited when a big truck pulled up on the street next to him. A clip of the segment made the rounds on Twitter, showing Trump sharing his ultimate fantasy involving another big truck, a “macho guy,†and driving the truck down into the river: “And then I drown in the river, and I feel the water seeping over me, and then the air leaves my lungs, and in the moment where my body starts to react and wants air, I let go. And when I let go, the water fills my lungs, and I’m finally at peace.â€
I was literally 😂 at this @PresidentShow clip last night. @TonyAtamanuik just might be a comedic genius: https://t.co/SjuNN0Kkmj pic.twitter.com/VqZKnJLm4A

It was only fitting, then, that during last night’s season finale of The President Show, that big truck dream finally came true for Trump during the opening segment – sort of, at least:
The episode also featured an appearance by Lewis Black, who played Trump’s “last shred of self-awareness†and calls him a “racist bag of moldy biscuit dough.†Check out the full segment below:
Comedy Central hasn’t yet renewed The President Show, but Atamanuik and crew will return later this month with the holiday special I Came Up with Christmas: A President Show Christmas.
