But what about Joe Biden, his successor in the White House, who officially becomes, this Wednesday, the 46th President of the United States?
If Trump has navigated between film and television, Joe Biden, he only illustrated himself on the small screen, between 2012 and 2016. To his credit, appearances, in his own role, in the credits of Parks and Recreation and New York Unity Special, not to mention a sketch alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the vice-president of the Veep series.
