THE INCAPABLE TRUMP #4

In the age of social media, never have politicians been more outspoken. This has proven to be a double-edged sword, where some have said things that are outright outrageous. Then there are some poignant moments as in the recent passing of John Lewis where we saw the personal side of many of them. President Obama and first lady Michelle showed just how effective it was to get to their constituents through the platform, offering another way to speak and hear from the couple.

Unfortunately, the man who currently sits in the highest seat in the land also uses this platform. Offering quite a lot of histrionic thoughts and even dangerous ideas into the world. This has created an endless cycle of everyone gasping at what he has said and afraid of what would be said next. The fact that he’s not intelligent is not lost on anyone even his most impassioned sycophants. In The Incapable Trump #4, the creative team behind this brilliant book, show us just what kind of mayhem he can cause in this alternate take in hilarious tales.

In “The Monster and the Wall”, we’re taken to Dilley, Texas, where the wall that Trump wants to build is laying the ground. We meet Sophia Sayed, a young lawyer, and Jennifer who have both come to protest along with hundreds of other lawyers, students, paralegals, and interpreters. Sophia and Jennifer visit one of the family detention centers where they are holding immigrants, they meet Maria, a woman who fled with her family from El Salvador because of gang violence. We find Trump at one of his “super-spreader rallies” and his insecurities turn him into the Incapable Trump were Sophia uses him to help their cause.

In “Mueller-the Counsel Special”, Robert Mueller testifies before Congress on the fitness of the president. We find him later that night having a secret meeting at the Jefferson Memorial where he and a few senators discuss the reason why he hadn’t gotten sick to that point making Mueller deduct that Trump has immunity because of his ability to transform into the Incapable Trump. In Tulsa, at one of his rallies, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez triggers Trump, causing him to wreak havoc on the stadium.

Overall, The Incapable Trump #4 is more than a relevant book but an indictment of the nonsensicality of the conservative platform of ideas. The stories by Omar Mirza are funny, biting, and pertinent. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a set of stories that you will read and re-read to make sure you catch all the ”humdingers”.

The Incapable Trump #3

Distraction is often a way for us to avoid answering those uncomfortable questions. It had been some years, since I dealt with a full-fledged narcissist, until my most recent supervisor. I didn’t pick up on it at first, as the niceties overshadowed the deep-seated inconsistencies. Eventually, the errors became more apparent and the conversations often drained anything fruitful into something being completely one-sided.

I see the same constantly self-centeredness in the present world leader who this comic is named for. Their constant reductionist attitude to complex geopolitics and apparent derision towards domestic policies gives the American populace little faith in who is leading us. Never in recent history, does America feel lull and directionless than the present tense, as we all know what gross incompetence looks like. In the third issue of The Incapable Trump, the brilliant Omar Mirza uncovers how such an imbecile navigates foreign policy.

We’re taken to the hospital where Trump’s condition is closely being watched by Dr. Iman Ali, a situation Mueller looks to get down to the truth about. We also find Kim Jung-Un, who offers a reward to capture the Incapable Trump. This leads President Trump to enlist the help of Dennis Rodman as they prepare to visit North Korea. What unfolds is a hilarious exchange between these two delusional office-bearers.

Overall, one of the best parodies of this officeholder that almost everyone agrees should have kept his day job. The story by Mirza gives readers what they have come to expect from the story and more than they ever expected. The art by the creative team is beautiful. Altogether, the story gets better with each issue.

Review: The Incapable Trump #2

When it comes to healthcare, there has been few hotter issues where people don’t seem to understand the issue. The past few years have shown that people cannot tell that “Obamacare” and the Affordable Care Act, are the same thing. The quandary about our healthcare system is further complicated by the implications of socialism and villainization of those in power over that word, without the public understanding the facts and the full implications. The sanctimony and obfuscation of facts being carried out when it comes to why the dismantling of the ACA is better for the nation is reprehensible. These acts have lead to even more confusion and has become increasingly part of a bigger fabric of distrust against government officials and the system of government. The original vision of Ted Kennedy was to provide all Americans, healthcare that is affordable and now we have gone back to a system before Nixon, where HMOS put profit before care.

In the second issue of The Incapable Trump , the creators dive into this topic in both an educational and entertaining way.

We find the elected president shortly after his transformation back to his unhealthy human self, as he pauses to try and understand what has happened to him, he looks for medical attention, from his doctor. He employs spin control Sean Hannity, so that the media doesn’t get wind of what’s really going on with him, as he enters his office, Dr. Bornstein, famously lies to his face, and assures him that a vacation to Maralago is what he needs most. In a secret room, the GOP struggles with the what just happened with the President, realizing they are losing the faith of the citizens and the country. Soon, they hatch a plan where they can introduce bills that no one reads because the citizens and the media is engulfed with whatever public spectacle POTUS is doing now. The media, including the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, can’t help but tear through the mess he has already made, to which the POTUS only watches Fox News and reads redacted newspapers, to stories of his liking, which is not very much. This is where the GOP visits him, to convince him to create “TrumpCare”, which thrives on capitalism and makes healthcare not reasonable once more. As the both Houses go to vote, it doesn’t pass the Senate, which causes Trump’s health to spike, as Secret Service is unsure if he has health insurance but arrive at a hospital nonetheless. Shortly, after arriving, the Incapable part of POTUS takes over his body and destroys the hospital while insulting the medical staff. I don’t want to spoil the end but there’s some great digs in who saves the day.

Overall, an excellent second issue which both entertains and illuminates the reality of the current political climate. The story by Omar Mirza is funny, relevant, and entertaining. The at by the creative team is gorgeous despite the subject matter. Altogether, an excellent issue that proves Mirza and the creative team are ones to watch.

Review: The Incapable Trump #1

In a world where world leaders are thought of disdain or ridicule, it is sill amazing to me that someone can get both reactions. A perfect example is the current POTUS who is, to say the very least, a source of controversy and confusion. At the same time he has brought out people’s true nature. Many of the people who supported him before the election, still are supporters despite everything and seem to be even more dug in when it comes to that support. Never has one president been so controversial, so ridiculed, so hated, and has brought the office nothing but indignation from our allies.

As everyone around the world witnesses how much of a “dotard” he is, the fractures he has caused in the very fabric in what makes us united and part of America seems to be underplayed by many. No one living can think of a time where xenophobia, racism, ignorance, the “making up of facts,” and constant lying has even been on display from the highest office in the nation. This is where the arts play its part and reflect what is going in our country and how the rest of the world sees us. In the first issue of The Incapable Trump, part parody part superhero satire, we find a man out of his depth.

In the first few panels we find the POTUS laying with his toy blocks. He soon finds out there is trouble from his inauguration, as the number of attendees is not what he expected. As he struggles with the questions and the cameras, the pressure becomes too much for him, which pushes him to become the Incapable Trump, an ogre like version of himself and an even paler version of the Hulk. Transformed, he says even dumber things. Eventually he faces off against Bernie Sanders and the rest of the liberals, in a faceoff with an ending that’s rather creative and a nice play on events.

Overall, the comic is a great story that uses both parody and a love of superheroes in a supremely imaginative way. The story by Omar Mirza and Khurram Mehtabdin is funny, relevant, and action packed. The art by Twins Vega and Beeezzz Studio is gorgeous. It’s one of the better parody books to make it out into the world in a while.
