Genocidal aliens , killer golem , and megalomanic Supreme Being have all tried to take over and ruin theMarvel Cinematic Universe ’s Earth , but none of them has been anywhere near as terrific as the villain recently give away in Hulu ’s Runaways : President Donald Trump .
In walkaway ’ first episode , Gert ( Ariela Barer ) spends the bulk of her time at school day essay to convince her classmates to join her “ subvert the Patriarchy ” club , a feminist group dedicated to celebrate one ’s self - worth , dismantling the system , and shoot down the man . By the closing of the installment , Gert ’s club has exact zero members besides herself , three fewer than she require for the school to officially recognize the mathematical group .
Obviously , Gert gets wrapped up with the rest of the Runaways drama while investigating whether their parents are all part of a secret murder cult , but in last calendar week ’s episode “ Fifteen , ” “ subvert the Patriarchy ” comes back in a swelled way . While leave campus , Gert ’s come near by three other students who , after hearing her initial tar in course , decided to link up the baseball club and ingest it upon themselves to start handing out post horse for it . What ’s more , the Kid were so enthusiastic about Gert ’s ideas , they interpolate a caboodle of “ I ’m With Her ” shirt to read “ I ’m With Gert . ”
As cunning as the jest is , it mean that the 2016 election proceed down much in the same way that it did here in the real world . Hillary Clinton lost , Donald Trump pull ahead , and now “ I ’m With Her ” shirts are being repurposed for after - school program . verbalise to Syfy , Barer joked that while Trump is never explicitly advert , it ’s well within the realm of hypothesis that Clinton cease up ladder against a former realism telecasting star . But there are a couple of other tinge scattered throughout the entire MCU as to what might have live on down in terms of the election .
Iron Man 3 establish Matthew Ellis is President of the United States by 2013 and stays in bureau at least up until Captain America : Civil War , as evidenced by his actions during Agents of SHIELD ’s third time of year . This would stand for that Barack Obama was not President during the exact same years as in the genuine world , but a numeral of reference to Obama ( include a shot of Captain America reading David Maraniss ’ biography of Obama ) suggest he was President at some compass point in clip . Theprevailing theoryis that he might have become President in 2008 before losing the election to Ellis in 2012 — an election in which Ellis used the Chitauri invasion over New York as one of his major weapons platform talking points .
Ellis ’ political affiliation is never mentioned , but it stand to reason that a chairwoman who ran on the campaign promise that he would keep the res publica secure from extraterrestrial threats would n’t encounter his party ’s nomination again after everything that ’s happened in the MCU since he took office . So , it ’s dead plausible that Trump and Clinton pass mind to head there as they did in our universe before Clinton ultimately lost .
On the brilliant side , at least now we know we ’re not living in the darkest timeline .
