Desperate times call for desperate comedies. Created by Olympic-level satirist Stephen Colbert, Our Cartoon President is a political comedy presented in the medium perfect for the times: a cartoon. Sure, a bumbling commander-in-chief is front and center, but the hilarious rot at the core of American politics doesn’t end with Donald Trump in this show.
His party cohorts including Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, and Mike Pence are there, along with his oafish kids Eric, Donald Jr., and Ivanka. The opposition led by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer isn’t spared in this animated house of cards, either. Each season has introduced even more familiar faces to the political rogue’s gallery like Ann Coulter, Brett Kavanaugh, Lindsay Graham, and the creepy My Pillow Guy.
Here’s how to watch Our Cartoon President online for free.
