In the movie, Meryl Streep plays a president who:
a) Used to be a former television star that went into politics
b) is vocally outspoken in her anti-intellectualism and anti-science ignorance
c) abuses cronyism
d) abuses nepotism

I could go on, but I think you get the point. There are SOME elements of other presidents in the character, like the track-suits that Hilary Clinton used to wear, but the bulk of the character is based off of Trump.
