Does the intrigue of 'TrumpUSA' remind you of movies like Pump Up the Volume and My Fellow Americans, or does the traffic-congestion of commerce-fixated modern-day America remind you of the cynicism presented in movies like Wag the Dog and American Psycho?
Check out this patriotism-inquiry vignette (below) inspired by the film Mars Attacks! and decide!
Anyone a fan/scholar of Sacco and Vanzetti?

Ajay Satan, an Internet-blogging 'vigilante,' made blogs about censorship/pornography in the modern age of media and networking. His twin brother, Ali Mann, a California bike-messenger working for the CIA, hosted his own Internet radio-show called Becoming Trump. Ajay and Ali were both born in Algeria and became U.S. citizens and both attended Yale University where they studied political science and literature. Now, they wanted to host a TrumpUSA radio-show together, so Ajay joined Ali in his radio programs, and Becoming Trump became known as the modern-day political-equivalent of Penn & Teller.
{Ajay Satan & Ali Mann}
Ajay and Ali fashioned two shiny helmets which they sometimes wore on their radio-show which sometimes offered live video-feeds of the two DJs/commentators with their special guests. Guests included Hallmark Channel actress Lori Loughlin, radio-personality Howard Stern, and American musicians David Gray and Perry Farrell. Becoming Trump was quite popular, and the CIA informed Ajay and Ali that they would now go on a secret mission to infiltrate the underwater fortress of the international super-terrorist organization known as Cobra. Ajay/Ali realized that media-bravado would now have to translate into real patriotism.
{Ali on left; Ajay on right}
Ajay took the field-name "Snake-Eyes" and Ali took the field-name "Storm-Shadow." The twin-brothers were equally-skilled in hand-to-hand combat, swimming (and deep-sea diving), target-shooting, computer-hacking, explosives, and of course radio-hosting. Snake-Eyes and Storm-Shadow went on a mission for the U.S. government (the CIA) to investigate a signal emanating near Cobra's underwater fortress (near Thailand) regarding a strange large 'entity.' The CIA told the twin-brothers they were now part of a secret paramilitary unit called 'G.I. Joes' which included other soldiers and media-personalities who worked to defend the values of TrumpUSA using their skills/talents and connections to American society/culture.
SNAKE-EYES: So you're the 'entity' who sent those intelligent signals?
STORM-SHADOW: What is your intention?
LEVIATHAN: Yes, I roam around the Cobra fortress and wanted American witness!
SNAKE-EYES: Are you a dragon or serpent of alien of some kind?
STORM-SHADOW: Do you intend to terrorize capitalism/democracy?
LEVIATHAN: I have nothing against 'TrumpUSA.'
SNAKE-EYES: Why then did you send those communication-oriented signals?
STORM-SHADOW: What's your connection to Cobra?
LEVIATHAN: I only wanted to see what Americans were doing about Cobra.
SNAKE-EYES: So you wanted to see who the U.S. government would send?
STORM-SHADOW: You wanted to know if Americans would engage with you?
LEVIATHAN: Yes, I wanted to see why Americans despise Cobra...
SNAKE-EYES: We'll tell you know (as radio-DJs), Americans fear Cobra's anti-social wrath.
STORM-SHADOW: We host a show called Becoming Trump which espouses patriotism.
LEVIATHAN: I've listened to your program (I can sense radio-signals); you're humorous!
SNAKE-EYES: We intend to distribute compact-cassettes with recordings of our show.
STORM-SHADOW: We commentate about patriotism, consumerism, celebrities.
LEVIATHAN: I know of your government's recruitment of 'G.I. Joes.'
SNAKE-EYES: We haven't met any of the other G.I. Joes yet, but we're sure they're nice.
STORM-SHADOW: TrumpUSA is all about 'being nice.'
LEVIATHAN: Really? I wondered if capitalism made Americans too 'arrogant.'
SNAKE-EYES: Arrogance is cured with doses of patriotic humor.
STORM-SHADOW: We'll don comedic comic book identities for our show.
LEVIATHAN: I'll 'tune in.'
SNAKE-EYES: We bid your farewell and hope you'll refrain from inciting Cobra.
STORM-SHADOW: Our government has no qualms with you.
LEVIATHAN: My name's Leviathan; I'm a dragon who dwells in the ocean's abyss; peace!
Snake-Eyes (Ajay) and Storm-Shadow (Ali) returned to America and reported their engagement with 'Leviathan' to the CIA and declared the mysterious and complex underwater dragon-creature to be a simple 'Devil's Advocate' who had no intentions of inciting added tensions between Cobra and the G.I. Joes. The CIA congratulated the twin-brothers for their good work and returning unharmed with their helpful report. Ajay and Ali decided to don comedic and patriotic comic book character-alias for their show Becoming Trump (just as they promised 'Leviathan') and continued to host their radio-show while waiting for their next G.I. Joe mission. Their comic book aliases were Wiccan and Speed(!). Tom Hanks (celebrity and secret member of G.I. Joe) became a big fan.
Ajay and Ali distributed numerous compact cassettes with recordings of their radio-show episodes on them. They distributed these patriotic political-commentary humorous program recordings to celebrities, politicians, musicians, journalists, and even American soldiers so Becoming Trump would be hailed as the ultimate nationalism-symbolic radio-program. This was now the offical 'TrumpUSA Radio Show' and TIME magazine called Ajay and Ali the 'Bartleby-Brothers.' Media made much possible for social exchange in the modern age, as the G.I. Joes continued to deal with the terrorists of the vile Cobra.
TRUMP: What do you think of the Bartleby-Brothers?
CARTER: I like referring to them as Wiccan and Speed, Mr. President!
TRUMP: Well, fortunately Cobra doesn't know they're U.S. agents.
CARTER: Right --- Snake-Eyes and Storm-Shadow.
TRUMP: Who do you like better, Ajay or Ali?
CARTER: The fact that they're so similar makes it difficult to choose.
TRUMP: I prefer Snake-Eyes, but younger people like Storm-Shadow.
CARTER: Which one is Wiccan/Speed?
TRUMP: I forget; I think they intentionally make that ambiguous, Carter.
CARTER: Isn't media fun?
TRUMP: It can be when it helps TrumpUSA deal with anti-social terrorism.
CARTER: Maybe the 'Bartleby-Brothers' are the 'antecedent' of Sacco-Vanzetti.
