Law And Order: SVU’s Trump episode won’t air this season (if at all)
According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC has released the list of Law & Order: SVU episodes left to air in its current season, but there’s one notable—and wholly predictable—absence: “Unstoppable,” a.k.a. the Trump episode. The episode features Gary Cole as a Trump-like politician whose campaign is threatened when multiple women accuse him of sexual assault, because SVU takes place in a fantasy universe where a political candidate’s career can be threatened because he’s a fucking creep, and it was originally supposed to air in October just before the election. Just after announcing the episode, though, NBC decided to delay airing it until after the election, presumably because the media back then was already doing such a damn good job illustrating the many awful things Trump had done at that point. Plus, it might’ve distracted from James Comey’s email bullshit, and nobody would’ve appreciated that.
