President (Shadow World)
A President (circa 1949-2017) was created by the Monks as a virtual construct of the President of the United States.
He took an overdose at the age of 68, upon discovering that he was a pawn in an invasion simulation. The Twelfth Doctor and Bill Potts discovered his recently deceased body in the Oval Office.
He was 169.7cm tall and weighed 163.2 pounds. Upon being discovered, his body had a temperature of 32.1 degrees Celsius. (TV: Extremis [+]Loading...["Extremis (TV story)"], GAME: Extremis [+]Loading...{"page":"121","1":"Extremis (game)"})
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the real world, this President has no counterpart, resembling neither Barack Obama (born 1961) nor Donald Trump (born 1946). This individual doesn't seem to exist in the Doctor's universe either, with the next two stories in the Monk trilogy, The Pyramid at the End of the World [+]Loading...["The Pyramid at the End of the World (TV story)"] and The Lie of the Land [+]Loading...["The Lie of the Land (TV story)"], both referencing Trump as being the president. Earlier versions of the script noted that "whether [the US President] is male or female" was to be determined based on the outcome of the 2016 election.[1]
