The Conways. This pair are a key inspiration for this list. Kelly Anne Conway, who persistently did something in the Trump administration, is famous for the iconic "alternative facts" remark. There's also the lesser-known "Bowling Green massacre". Meanwhile her husband George Conway was a conservative lawyer who was at first proud of his wife who was the first woman to be a successful presidential campaign manager in 2016. They soon split politically as she became a rare survivor in the Trump administration (and probably the biggest leaker, especially if you don't consider Donald Trump himself). Mr. Conway, on the other hand, became an outspoken critic of the Trump administration. This was a real headscratcher because they remained a married couple, an example to others of how people could get along depite political differences.

Eventually they did divorce amicably in '23, which kind of spoils this weird situation. He says she got caught up in the cult.
 
 

Tucker Carlson is going to have a conversation at some point with St. Peter, the ultimate fact checker.
 
 

The Biden family was certainly not without drama. Highs and lows.
 
 

The state of Georgia has drama, stories, importance. There is the sad tale of election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. The hour-long phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Troublemaker Lin Wood was a Georgia attorney.
 
 

The Secret ServiceDo you remember the assassinatiion attempt against Donald Trump? What I'm getting at is there was an incident in Las Vegas in 2016 where a 20-year-old man tried to grab a gun from a cop to shoot Donald Trump.
The Secret Service liked Ivana Trump and Jared Kushner.
The dramatic Mike Pence situation.
 
 

Mike Pence. There will not be a film about Mike Pence. And yet
things got hairy and scary.
Was Mike Pence a hero, or not? The debate continues.
 
 

Jamie Raskin, originally a lawyer and professor specialising in constitutional law, was a congressman. On December 31, 2020 it was announced that his son had died. His son suffered from depression and committed suicide. He was buried on Jan. 5. Then on Jan. 6 Jan. 6 happened. For Jamie Raskin, who was in the building being attacked with an unknown result, it must have been .. well, ask him. After that his daughter didn't want to go to the Capitol. He became the lead manager for the second impeachment charging Mr. Trump with inciting an insurrection. In July '21 he became a key player in the Senate Committe investigating the Jan. 6 attack, with its public hearings July '22.

Later in '22 he got cancer (again).
 
 

Senator John McCain has a story, and a role. But he promptly died, so no film.
 
 

Somebody might decide that there is a story to tell about the evolving Lindsey Graham and his motivations. He was close to John McCain.
 
 

Don McGahn was a White House counsel for U.S. President Donald Trump. No, not one of those lawyers. He was a counsel for the presidency, not for Donald Trump's personal crimes. What makes him special is he was in the thick of it, repeatedly.
 
 

General Michael Flynn
screwy in the head, something went wrong
career blocked, bitter, mental breakdown reinforcing
But was a general. intelligence
tangled up with Russians, picture, communicating with Turkey during inauguration
down that pathetic Q rabbit hole.
 
 

Television gets my vote as a good character for a Trump-era film.
 
 

The Generals also get my vote, with high drama, marred by the fact the generals were different people with different stories.
 
 
 
 

Other things happened during the Trump presidency era, not necessarilly connected to Donald Trump. Do you remember the clown craze / cnn of 2016?

What is a leppo?
