10 Reasons Why Frank Underwood Would Be a Better President Than Donald Trump

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fordham chapter.

In honor of House of Cards season four, which premieres this Friday on Netflix, here’s the breakdown of why Frank Underwood would unequivocally make a better president than Trump.

1. He kills dogs.

Remember, way back in the first episode? Good times.

2. He has a mistress.

Who he exploits to further his own political aspirations. Oh yeah, and then…

3. He throws her in front of a train.

At least he was wearing a cool hat?

4. He hates children.

Always a sign of a kindhearted individual.

5. He manipulates people into breaking their sobriety.

And then kills them too. RIP Peter Russo.

6. He orchestrates the president’s downfall.

Can’t blame him for playing the game.

7. He casually urinates on his father’s grave.

Gotta love a man who loves his family.

8. He literally spits on Jesus.

Well, who doesn’t have mixed feelings toward religion?

9. He has anyone who gets in his way of power killed.

RIP Rachel. Starting to see a pattern here?

10. His wife hates him (and that’s saying something).

See how he strangles her? What a gentleman.

Alright, basically, he is evil incarnate. Still a better president than Trump.
