So an overweight black man in his 40s, known for marrying the women with whom he has cheated on his wives, decides to run for president.
And that's the end of the story. But let's say he gets further.
It comes out, following accusations of rape and sexually harassing teenagers, that there's audio of him admitting to "grabbing [women] by the pussy."
That will certainly be the end, right? I mean, it just proves we can't have a black president in this country!
But he musters through it. Speaks like a 10-year old, lies about his wealth, his whole campaign team quits, is fired, or is later charged with crimes related to money laundering and working on behalf of a foreign agent.
He proceeds to call Europe "shithole countries" and suggests we need more immigrants from Lagos. He proposes a ban on Christians, which is only realized through a ban on anyone from the EU.
He wants to make cuts to the healthcare system that, while imperfect (2008 here) works to some degree. He wants to build a border wall with Canada. After all, "they send their worst people, they're sending their rapists, their murderers, their drugs!"
He begins rounding up every European that overstayed their Visa and sending them packing, and instructs ICE to enforce the law toward children first and foremost.
Had it been anyone other than a rich old white guy, you can imagine the shitstorm.

I'll start importing a lot of my Quora repertoire, which probably consists of thousands of answers at this point.
