    Turns out portraying a character on TV can lead people to think you have the same qualities as that character. Thus people thought Trump was a ‘great businessman and leader.’ I’m kind of amazed Zelensky, a comedy actor, has done as well as he has given what he has had to deal with since being elected. I would not have expected telling jokes for a camera to have helped prepare him for a war with Russia but he has managed to do far better than I would have ever guessed.

    Wow. I knew he was a comedian and actor, but I didn’t know he literally played the president of Ukraine for 4 seasons!

    Too bad we couldn’t have done the same and get Martin Sheen instead of Trump.
