“Made in Amerika is possibly the most entertaining presidency yet with President Barney skilfully handling issues with ISIS, North Korea, eggs, Lena Dunham and the entire Disney corporation, accompanied by his aides Jefferies and Michaels.”

“The ideas and writing are subversive, and uncompromising and draw from greats like Monty Python and Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park fame,” he said.
