Suppose the previous poster were running for president. What gaffe or scandal or skeletons in the closet would end their candidacy and turn them into a national disgrace or a joke candidate? Note, this is not meant to be serious.

Someone impersonates him, but even when revealed to be an impersonator, everyone still thinks that he was responsible for the absurd actions of said inpersonator.
