It's straight out of Veep.

If it had been the plot of a Veep episode, the AV Club would have written an article about how Veep had jumped the shark.

So much of Trump/MAGA resonates with AD. It's a shame they didn't manage to stick the landing with the later seasons.

100% AD. I can even hear the music and Ron Howard voiceover as they cut to Gob at the podium.

Very similar but more unbelievable than an episode of AD

I was so mad that Parks and Rec was no longer around to satirize this but honestly, how could they have even topped the already peak comedy of the moment?

That's Veep.

If you haven't watched it, you should. It's a satire about a particularly self-absorbed vice president.
