Down there with Not All Men as the worst episodes of the season. It's so clear with this message and I don't like Trump either. But setting that aside even I hate this political message. The whole point of The Twilight Zone is to lose yourself in a story and see a dark twist. Most of these episodes have some political crap which is not what the original show did.

If I were to rewrite I'd have it be not like any president in history but a liked one. Not putting any message behind the episode. Instead going with that shooting done to the president himself. The shooter would be a time traveler who was sent back in time to do so. However you could have the twist be his close friend who supported the election. Or something I don't know anything wild with a good twist. Someone can probably do a better one, maybe the killer also did the John F Kennedy one.
