Would you rather have Michael Scott or Donald Trump as President?

[Huncho_Houdini]

What the poll says. Like if the character Michael Scott would be elected as the president, have all the normal powers as president, would appoint his cabinet etc. do you think we'd be in a better position as a country/world?


Hear me out. Michael is a moron and a scumbag often times, but I can't help but feel Trump is just as dumb without any of the likable qualities. Both have done some terrible stuff, but Trump with more malice. For example Michael tried to get Toby arrested by planting a caprese salad in his drawer thinking it was weed while Trump has lead to tens of thousands of American deaths. Trump has declared bankruptcy multiple times while Michael has "declared" bankruptcy. Michael also at least has some sales talent so I would expect him to do better during negotiations for example with Kim Jong Un. Trump wrote "art of the deal" while Michael is currently writing "Somehow I manage." We would likely see a version of the dundies at the white House correspondent dinner every year. Michael is definitely at some level prejudiced (more so in the early seasons) because he thought Martin was black but Trump has his "African Americans." Michael also happily lives in a gay friendly neighborhood.

Plus Michael would beprepared for this current crisis:

Just something to think about tbh. Please justify your answers.

Michael's heart is (mostly) in the right place. Trump doesn't have a heart.

 

[El_TigroX]

Michael Scott is a dummy, but most of the time striving for good intentions - even if he fucks up. He at least has a conscious.

 

[Twstr709]

I mean I would choose a pile of shit over Trump so easy question for me.

 

[Geist 6one7]

You will (should) get zero votes for trump.

 

[Silly Buck]

Michael Scott but only on the premise that he's got some decent people around him. He's so easily persuaded and influenced by others. His empathy for everyone besides HR is a welcome attribute for a president.

 

[Zip]

What a shitty question that trivializes the horrendous shit Trump has done.

Hear me out.

nah
The US would be in a better place if it didn't have a president for those 4 years

 

[linkboy]

A literal piece of shit would do a better job as President then Trump because it wouldn't do anything.

 

[thekonamicode]

Michael Scott is empathetic and a very successful salesman. Donald Trump is neither.

 

[Coyote Starrk]

I would rather have a piece of shit in a plastic bag instead of Trump.

 

[The Unsent]

I've not really watched Office US (I liked the original) but he's not evil is he?

I would have trouble choosing between Mr Burns and Trump.

 

[Ryan.]

Only if Dwight is assistant to the President.

 

[The Dread Pirate Westley]

The worst version of Michael Scott is better than the best version of Donald Trump.

 

[LakeEarth]

Michael Scott appreciated his employees.

 

[Strike]

Michael Scott means well. He may be an idiot, but he's not a terrible person.

 

[mmitt]

I would vote for anybody from dunder mifflin over trump



except toby

 

[Ryan.]

 

[Feep]

This is a weird thread premise because you'd have to have zero understanding of Donald Trump or Michael Scott to pick anything but the right answer.

 

[hjort]

Pretty much anyone or anything is better than a literal fascist. So Michael Scott. No question.

 

[Wrapped in Black]

Please lock this shit

 

[Kinky Kong]

Michael Scott? Pff... Now how about Prison Mike?

 

[Cenauru]

If you don't think this only has one, VERY obvious right answer, you're severely underplaying how vile Trump's presidency is and has been.

 

[Kaban]

Michael Scott would be the obvious choice but he better not promise any underprivileged students free college tuition - we all know what happens when he does that

 

[Radd Redd]

Michael Scott. Sure he's an idiot and a racist about some things, but he does have a good side to him for the most part.

 

[Shadybiz]

I'd choose my cat over Trump, and my cat is a complete dumbbell.

 

[KingM]

There's no need to compare Trump to some fictional idiot. Trump isn't dumb, he's just an endlessly cruel person who care about himself above everything else. To treat him like some bumbling idiot is a discredit to everyone harmed by his intentional decisions.

 

[KNZFive]

President Camacho from Idiocracy is already a better President than Trump, so obviously Michael Scott would be better. As dumb as Michael is, he at least has human empathy and actually cares about others in his own stupid and misguided way. Michael's dumb, while Trump is dumb and cruel.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Trump isn't dumb, he's just an endlessly cruel person who care about himself above everything else.

He's both. He is not a smart person, and his malignant narcissism makes it worse.

What a shitty question that trivializes the horrendous shit Trump has done.
