Here Is What Charlie Brooker’s WeeklyWipe Was Going TO say About Trump, And It Is Brutal As Fuck.
While we did not originally get to enjoy Charlie Brooker’s yearly Weekly Wipe which always gives a brutal, sarcastic and hilarious commentary on the year’s events, given that it was cancelled last year due to scheduling difficulties as Brooker explained in November.
Got some good news and bad news. Bad news is no 2017 Wipe. Was set to do it but ran out of road. Am way behind on scripts / dev elsewhere and contrary to my optimistic delusions it turns out I can’t do 400 things at once. [1/3]

But do not get too disappointed, a colleague of the Black Mirror Creator, Jason Hazeley, who is a colleague of Brooker’s and an associate crew member of six previous yearly wipes has shared what they were going to say about Trump last year and it does not disappoint.

While he's wantonly soiling our territory and cluelessly fucking with our politics, here are our 2017Wipe (it was cancelled) notes on you-know-who. pic.twitter.com/7T17sfzADX

What a wonderful combination of words.
It’s not like Trump did not have it coming though, in his first year as president, he flirted with nuclear war, barely did anything to solve the suffering in Puerto Rico, and failed to condemn white supremacists. So there is a lot of material for comedians to work with.
Also, what a perfect time for this tidbit of brutal, comedic material to be released as Trump is in the UK and spurring on protests and inciting conversation. You have got to love Britain.
Just for fun, here are my personal favourite quotes from above:
“A man who looks like he is constantly shitting”
“Worzel Gummidge after a spa weekend”
“A billionaire bigot who looks a bit sweaty because he’s trying to smuggle the prototype of a giant Shredded Wheat out of the factory by hiding it above his forehead”
“A soulless rich white male who claims to represent ordinary, hard-working people – in much the same way I could be said to represent the Brazilian grimecore community or the nineteen-headed creatures of the planet Blitheroid or the international carpet-eating association.”
