Trump’s strength is that he dominates the headlines letting all the other assholes usher in fascism.
“As President, Zaphod's role was designed to be a figurehead that wielded no real power, despite appearing to be in charge. His primary responsibility was to be flashy, controversial, and outrageous, thereby focusing public attention on himself rather than the unseen forces actually running the universe.”
True, but Trump is a moron (like Beeblebrox) with a cabinet of morons (unlike Beeblebrox), making the advance of fascism slow and haphazard. Under Vance, it would be much more competent, and we know that Trump wouldn't suddenly vanish. He'd still be a loud, obnoxious asshole, hogging media attention.
