If we could set up a Truman Show scenario where Trump thinks he’s President again and the public send in scenarios for him to deal with, what would you suggest?

The occupants want to meet with him and they're very curious about dining at fast food restaurants. I'd love to see him playing tour guide to people in alien costumes, explaining crunchwrap supremes and why the McDonald's ice cream machine doesn't work.

Things will really take off when one of the aliens starts flattering him, mentioning how attractive he is. The alien asks him to touch a seeming innocuous part of its body and a fine mist sprays him in the face. An episode or three later and it's casually dropped in conversation how Trump unknowingly jerked the alien off and got a facial, and they think it's hilarious because when you're an interstellar traveler visiting a less advanced species you can just get away with things like that.

Never ever would you find actors who could play the aliens without bursting into laughter.

Three words: Sacha Baron Cohen. It would be his finest hour.

He probably would do this lol. Shit, he'd probably find this thread hilarious.

he would be spritzing Trump, random asshole Republican VP, all over the place. The other aliens would be saying “oh, great honor”, “you have truly been blessed”..

3 episodes later at the CDC “The President is pregnant!”

Whatever you do, do not hire Jimmy Fallon. That man would last about 5 seconds.

Have him tell Trump there will be a war if he doesn't come up with a patent for an ice cream glove.

If only we could bring back Robin Williams! He would be able to flawlessly play every single person involved in this live sitcom!!!

For real, tho. You could tell him the alien makeup was DEFINITELY going to give him bladder cancer, and he'd still do it, if that was the only way.

I don't know why it needs to be a double Truman show, but I guess that's just what's in my heart.
