You Got Trumped: The First 100 Days

You Got Trumped: The First 100 Days is a short format satirical dark comedy[1] TV and Web series. It was produced during the 2016 presidential election, examining what a hypothetical (at the time) first 100 days[2] in office of President Donald J. Trump might look like.[3][4] The series stars Ron Sparks as Chris Christie[5][6] and impressionist John Di Domenico as Trump,[7] with all episodes directed by Derek Harvie.[8][9] Renaud Le Van Kim et Guillaume Lacroix served as producers on the series,[10] which has been described as "insane" and "comico-dystopian".[11]

The first series produced by French video on demand service Blackpills, co-produced by Miramedia[12] and Together Media, You Got Trumped utilized raunchy humor,[13][14] with several episodes ultimately age restricted and/or pulled from YouTube following complaints then re-posted in censored versions, including "Trump Juice", in which Trump makes out with his daughter Ivanka and sells his semen on TV,[15] "The Art of the Dull" in which Trump presents China's "Prime Minister" with a self-portrait featuring his exposed "huge American penis",[16] and the trailer.[17]

Blackpills publicized its series both with the tagline "Grabbing America by the Pussy"[18] and a "Make Twitter Great Again" campaign using the hashtag #YouGotTrumped.[19] Blackpills offered $50,000 to anyone who could get the real Donald Trump to use the hashtag in social media (Twitter or Facebook),[20] but apparently no one was able to collect.[21] The series was aimed at young adults with Blackpills gearing their programming toward mobile phone-based subscribers, with very short episodes.[22]

13 episodes were produced,[23] of which 10 were released in October and November 2016[24] by Blackpills through YouTube[25] and Facebook,[26][27] to promote the launch of Blackpills, a "mysterious" new France-based streaming service,[28][29] in 2016. However, although the webisodes were posted on other streaming sites by November 4, 2016, four days before Trump's surprising election win, the launch for Blackpills itself was for unknown reasons pushed back to the end of 2016,[30] and then into 2017. When Blackpills finally launched in May 2017[31][32] with You Got Trumped as its first flagship show,[33][34] it was several months after Trump actually took office.[35]

The series also later aired on Vice TV (including Viceland & Viceland Canada).[36][37]
