Trump vs. Bernie is a political satire show that aired on the Fusion TV network. The show features two comedians impersonating Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, respectively, and debating national issues in a mock presidential campaign. The show is headlined by Anthony Atamanuik, who plays the role of President Donald Trump, and James Adomian, who takes on the character of Senator Bernie Sanders. The two comedians have a history of playing their respective roles, as they first debuted their impressions during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Throughout the show, Atamanuik and Adomian debate various national issues while maintaining their character personas. These range from immigration to climate change to gun control, with each comedian taking an extreme stance representative of their character's political views.

The show is performed in front of a live audience, with the comedians often interacting with them and incorporating their reactions into the performance. The debate aspect of the show is also somewhat interactive, as members of the audience are given the opportunity to ask questions of the candidates.

One notable aspect of the show is its ability to address current events and political issues in real-time. Several episodes were taped during the 2016 presidential campaign, allowing the comedians to tackle headlines and recent events. This ability to stay “up-to-date” with the latest news and events added an exciting and unpredictable element to the show.

The show also featured various celebrity guests, including comedians such as Sarah Silverman, Thomas Middleditch, and Gilbert Gottfried, who provided additional commentary and humor.

Trump vs. Bernie aired between April and June of 2016, at the height of the presidential campaign. The show was praised for its biting satire and accurately depicting the personalities and views of both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. It was particularly well-received by younger audiences who were seeking a more irreverent approach to the election.

Despite being a politically charged show, Trump vs. Bernie was ultimately embraced by both sides of the political spectrum. Both Trump and Sanders supporters found the show hilarious, as it effectively skewered the idiosyncrasies and quirks of each candidate’s personality.

Overall, Trump vs. Bernie is an entertaining and humorous take on the 2016 presidential campaign. It offers both political commentary and asks insightful questions about the presidential election, while providing audiences with a much-needed escape from the real-world divisions of politics.
