Homeland's new president is more Bernie Sanders than Donald Trump

Deadline

Elizabeth Marvel’s paranoid President Keene has drawn some comparisons to the current occupant in the White House. But the new Homeland president isn’t based on Trump. “The president in Homeland is an interesting amalgamation,” said Showtime CEO David Nevins at the TV press tour. “She is interesting combination of Bernie Sanders-like leftie isolationist. There are certain similarities but the White House on the show is more left than the current administration.. The hard core right wing is represented by the (Brett O’Keefe) character.”
