Does any of you play Magic: The Gathering?
Personally, I don't, but I am reconsidering after I found this:

If Donald Trump was an essential card it would at least have Lifelink, Deathtouch or Flying. Also since it is Red or Black it is only useful in mono-Red, mono-Black, Mardu, or Rakdos.
Its protections are also not very useful, I mean it doesn't even have Hexproof. Maybe it could be "[3], Tap: Target creature becomes a loser, hater, dope, hack, clown, bimbo, immigrant, rapist, immigrant-rapist or imaginary Syrian. Whenever Donald Trump is on the field and you win the game, you win another game".

Not sure why Marco Rubio needs Blue to level it up. But its effects are not consistent with most Blue or Red cards. Closer to what you would see on Black or White.

The Hillary Clinton effect is so complex that you would need a judge to rule on it whenever you use it. It should have been something like "[2], Tap: Create a 1/1 Seth Rich token. [4], Tap: Sacrifice a Seth Rich token, put a +1/+1 counter on Hillary Clinton. [6], Tap: Your opponent can draw a card, put two +1,+1 counters on Hillary Clinton".

You could also have a bunch of fun supporting spells like "Tired of Winning", "Pokémon Go To the Polls", "Glass Ceiling", "Son of an Immigrant", "Somebody is Doing the Raping", "Build a Wall", "Because You Would Be in Jail", "Basket of Deplorables", etc.

Boy I sure do miss playing Magic. What I don't miss is paying for cardboard.

Talking about taking a game seriously...

Anyway, I recently encountered the term "Jerkass Woobie".
I had no idea what it meant, so I looked it up.
The general definition was "jerkish on the outside, sad on the inside".
And this popped up among other things:

Taking it seriously was the joke.
