Since he’s a quintessential narcissist, it’s no surprise that Donald Trump has announced he’ll seek re-election. And, aside from a few die-hard Fox News enthusiasts, the world is groaning in unison, “AW, HELL NO!”
We don’t want four more years of Trump. We’d rather have a pulsating cold sore pop up the day of our family photo shoot. We’d rather listen to a recorder-only Nickelback cover band. We’d rather get stuck on the treadmill next to the stinky armpit lady at the gym.
Have I made myself clear? We do not want a Trump sequel. In fact, here is a list of horrible sequels we’d rather see than a second Trump term:

Hopefully none of these films will ever happen. But if need be, I will bargain with the gods and make one myself if it means we can have a Trump-free Oval Office come 2020. If I do, it’s probably going to be ‘Another League of Their Own’, FYI.
