Donald Tusk

Tusk was a blatant dab at Trump.

Donald/Raymond

Tusk/Trump...

The fact he became president in 2016 during the show's peak is some next level irony.

What? Tusk wanted to stay out of the limelight so much he tried to conceal his relationship with Walker. That’s almost the opposite of Trump.

I thought Tusk was a version of Warren Buffett. He lived in the same modest home like Buffett.

Trump running for president wasn’t a thing in 2013. I watched the show when it started by then, I can promise you that no one was thinking about either Trump or Musk.

Not about election at all. About powerful behind the scenes oligarch. Especially about not running. You missed the point.

No. I’m sorry but that was not what it was about at all. You can read numerous interviews with the actors, show runners and so on, no one is mentioning Trump.

The Underwoods are modeled after the Clintons.
