Tired of watching the world being run into the ground by inept leaders? Feel the bureaucratic process is too borked for the common good? Reckon you can plain just do a better job? This Is the President will let you take those feelings and action them into, err... action.

But, like, what exactly is this?

This Is the President is a satirical thriller, where the President of the USA manages the country like a mobster and tries to escape justice for past crimes. Change the fabric of the United States Constitution by persuading, blackmailing, bribing, and bullying a large part of the political system into granting you lifelong immunity.

Key features

• Manage your approval rating, cash and crew unlike any US President before – stay on top of your presidency by any means necessary.
  
• Hold speeches, draft executive orders, manage daily crises, hold press conferences, and tweet better than any President before.
  
• Hire a team of assassins, hackers, lobbyists, and other specialists. Send them on dangerous missions that can be solved by legal means. If that doesn’t work, send them on dangerous missions that can be solved by illegal means.
  
• Experience a compelling interactive narrative with a wide variety of choices and story branches. Will you end your term on your terms or are you just a pawn in a bigger game?
  
• Rule the country as a true mobster would with a shadow cabinet that is feared and respected on a global scale.

Today's new trailer for the game, which is out on PC this coming December 7 in Australia, focuses on the challenges that you'll be met with as Commander in Chief and highlights the ways in which you can navigate those, with a morally ambiguous compass, of course.
