I didn’t vote for stupid cartoons and mean spirited tweets. Major L for the Republican Party. We’ll see what the people have to say come November.” While another said https://x.com/zorach38/status/2081805360063504520 : “Glad this administration is finding more creative ways to waste our tax dollars.

The Independent has approached Adult Swim for comment. The post came after one of the show’s co-creators, Dan Harmon, admitted that aspects of Trump and fellow former President Barack Obama /topic/barack-obama had provided inspiration for his new spin-off cartoon, President Curtis , giving Rick and Mort y’s fictional commander-in-chief his own spotlight. Interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/president-curtis-dan-harmon-trump-rick-and-morty-movie-1236656937/ about the new project, Harmon said: “The conversations about Obama and Trump were inevitable. “Curtis has a naïveté that you could overlap with Trump, who is like, ‘I’m an outsider, and I consider this job simple, and I don’t care about the bureaucracy of it.’ On the Obama side, it’s the charmer and the guy who gets organic joy in being liked – that whole rock star aspect of Obama. “But mostly just more legendary aspects of presidents from the past, all Serpentor’d into a test tube baby that then becomes our version of maybe Martin Sheen in The West Wing , where it’s our fantasy president, warts and all.” President Curtis premiered on Adult Swim July 26.
