    I never miss this show and find it's biting satire right on point. It reminds me of the early episodes of the old Colbert Show. Glad to see that it's been extended beyond the initial 5 episodes.

    Possibly the best on point trump impression out there. To be honest I didn't have high expectations going in because I immediately suspecting bandwagon riding, but after watching it I have to say that I think it delivers a genuinely funny and considered original point of view. The serious reflective moments that examine trump's inner monologue are particularly noteworthy.

    Surprisingly smart. This show portrays Trump almost sympathetically, exposing the underlying childlike vulnerability of a deeply flawed & disturbed man. This is a remarkable take on him - which I appreciate because it's not just poking fun nor is it necessarily mean-spirited.

    The physical embodiment is also well done, particularly the way Trump is always pitched forward - a great capture.

    The best Trump impersonation I've seen, with moments of genius.

    I highly recommend watching through episode 3 before making a judgment on this show.    … Expand

    It's downright hilarious...the only reason the user score is low is because there's of course the ignorant scrotus followers that still blindly believe he's a good president and screech about their offended feelings.

    So smart, so funny. Delightful field pieces. Can't wait to see where this show goes. I hope it turns into a permanent weekly fixture on Comedy Central. Atamaniuk's characterization is deep.

    This show makes me laugh so that i won't cry; it's wicked sharp and doesn't pull any punches where 45* and current topics are concerned. The impression is so good that's it's hard not to believe it's really 45* talking into the top of a lamp.

    Funny. Really good impression. Like Ferrell's W or Carvey's H.W., the fictional version is much more likeble and funny than the real thing. It's got the makings of a great show.

    This was awesome!!!!!!!!!!
    The super smart political analysis is combined with some really funny physical humor. Trump stepping off the curb and eating burgers was hilarious.
    Nice range of humor and sharp insights into the person. I see it growing and getting even better over time!!!

    This is exactly what the world needs. Another blatantly unfunny show on Comedy Central ripping on the current administration and conservatism in general. How fresh and new... Anyone who likes this show is a deranged teenager with no life experiences and understanding of reality.

    Juvenile unfunny canned laughter... Bad corny impressions of Trump. My review is not based on my feelings for Trump. Its just a comedy show that lacks comedy and forces it with a laugh track...

    Sharp and biting satire on the level of Colbert Report. Sure Trump's an easy target, but these guys aren't just taking cheap shots. Atamanuik's impression is spot on and somehow manages to add charm to the character. He deserves more credit—literally, as his name only appears in the middle of the tiny and sped-up closing credits.

    Considering the gimmick factor, The President Show looks to be a surprisingly robust, well-produced work with ambitions greater than scoring cheap hits.

    Unfortunately, The President Show turns out to be mostly toothless satire, replete with broad, shticky comedy more suitable for the Borscht Belt than late-night television.

    An excellent Trump impression, but a little too much of it.
