I gotta tell you. This is some of the first coherent story telling I've seen out of the white house. Finally someone's doing some show-don't-tell. You could read the plaque and get a sense of who Trump is before you ever reveal the character

1. Right wing. As much is made clear in the first sentence

2. The character is self-involved. The description of others is in relation to him.

3. Has a flair for embellishment. It's not all about the numbers for him. Landslide, high approval, spirit, will, capitalized-Historic run.

4. Has an agenda. The bias is clearly laid out and ready to be metabolized by the audience.

You could (correctly) infer that a contemporary democrat would get less praise, if not a thumbs down in commemoration. You would infer that he likes to lie and misinform. If you were astute you'd sort of get that the whole narrative would revolve around a philosophical inquiry of post-truth and the unquestioning people who are galvanized to do harm by an asshole.

Long time fans of the series, of course, are wondering when the author is going to hurry up and do a communism because it's a real Chekov's gun for the whole situation. Otherwise barbarous hogs choking on CO2 makes for a really unsatisfying ending.
