7 Worst Politicians In Doctor Who

7. Jack Robertson

Writer Chris Chibnall and actor Chris Noth clearly had one goal in mind when creating Jack Robertson: to make him a complete a-hole. And they did just that.

A businessman with political aspirations, Robertson appeared in Series 11's Arachnids In The UK, and almost immediately, it's clear that he's a massive dick. His first act in the episode is to fire Yaz's mum for trying to do her job, and generally, he acts like he's the king of the castle, like everyone is beneath him, like he's better than everyone else.

Oh, and he absolutely loves using guns, because apparently, that's just what American people are like. Real subtle, Chibnall.

Clearly based on Donald Trump (if the character's behaviour or hotel empire didn't give it away, then his appearance certainly did), it's mentioned that Robertson is running for president in the 2020 election, and while the episode doesn't reveal how his campaign worked out, he does refer to himself as "president-elect Robertson" in a video uploaded to the Doctor Who YouTube channel.

What a relief nobody like this is the American president in our real world! Oh wait.
