    More often, Our Cartoon President manages to be mean and toothless at the same time. ... The show is just timely enough to be outdated.

    The series delivers trite material with inexplicable confidence, as if the writers were the first ones to recognize Trump's love of Diet Coke and Fox & Friends.
