US President Donald Trump has inspired many things, but few thought the anthology horror series American Horror Story would base its next season around him.

The seventh season of the show, entitled American Horror Story: Cult, is boasting a brand new trailer, its stars Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters having very different reactions to the rise of President Trump.

While Paulson's character screams in horror at the announcement (she seems reasonable), Peters' thrusts his hip in an act of fornication at the TV screen (he seems reasonable, too).

At which point a group of clowns pop-up, either because the American Horror Story team is just so random like that or because they're saying Trump is a clown and are about as subtle about it as he is. Or maybe because they're desperately hoping you remember last year's clown scare. Anyway, Twisty the Clown from season 4 shows-up, too.

Man, between this and It, it's going to be a tough season for clowns this year.
