They’re such wusses.

During W’s reign they used kid gloves. Always been like that with conservatives.

Lol ok. Guess you missed the dozens of Trump bashing episodes.

I have watched it off and on since it first aired and I can’t remember ever seeing Trump. In fairness I haven’t watched much the last couple years.

Mr. Garrison isn’t Trump, no matter how much they nod and wink.

Obama wasn’t portrayed by another character and neither was Bush and neither was Clinton.

Did they ever actually show Trump? Or was it bs Garrison as Trump?

Looked out of curiosity and seems the answer is no. Also, they literally said they were scared to make fun of him.

"It's tricky now because satire has become reality," he said. "We were really trying to make fun of what was going on but we couldn't keep up, and what was actually happening was much funnier than anything we could come up with.

That is true though. Especially during his first candidacy when most outside the US never heard of him yet he seemed to have jumped right out of a caricature. We only stopped laughing when he actually won.
