Comedian Brent Terhune has made the best of a shitty past four years with Trump in the White House by playing a satirical role as a MAGA chud living in Indiana.
His videos are internet gems which often catch unsuspecting Twitter users off guard who think his impressions are that of a genuine Trump supporter. In fact one of the best things about his videos are scrolling through the comments to see who fell for the impression and what kind of viscous response they had to Mr. Terhune’s spot on routine.
Today though, Terhune hooked a pretty big one as RAW STORY was totally Terhune’d. The internet news website completely fell for him pretending to organize a “Trump Train” looking to suppress voter turnout by causing traffic jams in Indianapolis.
“If we can make somebody late for something, then we’ve shown our support.” Huh. https://t.co/V1QOnTN6gO

Here’s the full write-up from RAW STORY because I’m sure it’ll be taken down anytime.
The man who organized the Indianapolis Trump Train this weekend explained that his effort was really an effort to make people “late” to the polls or inconvenience them.
“Basically, our message is simple, we support the president, we support law enforcement, we believe in God, and we think the best way to show our support is to create traffic,” he explained. “If we can make somebody late for something, then we’ve shown our support.”
He went on to say that his favorite movie was “Mad Max,” a film where society is thrust into war after oil is depleted, leading to financial chaos and famine. Max (Mel Gibson) attempts to restrain a mad biker gang. It’s unclear which the Trump Train is in this metaphor, the Main Force Patrol or the biker gang.
Now you can’t fault RAW STORY too much considering Terhune’s impressions are again spot fucking on when it comes to Trump supporters which is both hilarious and sad at the same time.
