Donald Trump VS Hillary Clinton is the 12th episode of DBX, featuring real life politicians Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in a battle between the 2016 United States presidential candidates.
Exhibition
On a public outdoor stage, the two 2016 United States presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, engage in a fierce battle for the presidency. A large TV screen behind them shows that the vote tally is tied. As tension builds, the election host steps forward, pulls out a piece of paper, and reads it aloud to the two.
Host: And now, a question from the audience: "Between the two of you, who would win in a fight?"

Assured of his impending victory, Trump lets out a triumphant chuckle.
Trump: (laughs) I'm-a gonna win!
Clinton, unimpressed, lets out a mocking laugh, finding Trump’s overconfidence absurd. Growling furiously, Trump wrenches his lectern from the ground. With a sharp glare, Clinton follows suit, kicking hers free. In a dramatic showdown, they hurl their lecterns at each other, triggering a small explosion as the crowd erupts in cheers
As Clinton rushes towards her rival, Trump simulates the Earth Style: Mud Wall jutsu from Naruto, clapping his hands together and slapping one of them on the ground while emitting a jolt of electricity. As he does so, four stereotypically-dressed Mexicans carrying bags come to his aid, using bricks to build a small wall between Trump and Clinton. Trump proceeds to peek from the wall in a menacing fashion with a flaming background. However, there is an awkward silence for a brief moment as the music comes to a halt.
Trump: Ah...

Trump grabs the Mexicans one by one and throws them at Clinton.
Trump: Get outta here! Good luck!
Clinton easily dodges the Mexicans as she makes her way to Trump.
Mexican: My leg!
Clinton delivers a powerful kick, shattering the wall in front of Trump. The two immediately engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat, but Trump quickly overpowers her, sending her crashing to the ground. As Clinton struggles to rise, a mobster handcuffs her, while another tosses Trump a shotgun. Trump fires at Clinton, but with impressive agility, she leaps out of the line of fire, narrowly dodging the bullets. In a swift move, she positions herself just right, and one of the shots strikes her handcuffs, shattering them and setting her free. With her hands usable once more, she throws a letter at Trump, which knocks away his shotgun.
The two collide in a fierce fistfight, but Clinton’s punch lands with such force that it blasts Trump’s arm clean off, leaving him in stunned disbelief. Before she can attack again, Trump's arm somehow regenerates as he pulls out a basket. Curious, Clinton searches through the basket, only to accidentally set off a grenade that explodes in a cloud of smoke, causing the audience to panic and run away. As the smoke clears, Clinton's charred, lifeless body lies on the ground, appearing to have been defeated. However, it's revealed to be a decoy, as the real Clinton suddenly emerges from behind the stage curtains. The screen zooms in to reveal a badge on the decoy saying "HILLARY CLINTON (BODY DOUBLE)".
As Clinton chuckles over her ruse, she looks up and is shocked to see a giant mech in Trump's image appear, with the words "TRUMPEX MACHINA" appearing on-screen.
Trump: Wohohaha!
The TrumpEx Machina pulls out a giant shotgun from its back as a terrified Clinton emits a Toad's cry. Before the robot can fire its energy beam, Clinton takes out a briefcase with the words "[FACT CHECKER]" plastered onto it. She pulls out a giant RPG, preparing to fire it at Trump.
Clinton: Ahaha!
Trump: Have a rotten day!
The TrumpEx Machina fires a massive blue energy ball from its shotgun, while Clinton's RPG unleashes a powerful blue energy beam. The two attacks collide in a cataclysmic explosion, obliterating the city and leaving it in ruins. In the aftermath, both Trump and Clinton, bloodied and barely alive, lie in the wreckage. Trump weakly struggles to his feet, tending to his wounds, while Clinton drags her battered body across the ground with one arm before dying. As Trump attempts to approach her, he slips on his own blood, collapsing to the floor before succumbing to his injuries. Moments later, Captain America lands in the midst of the devastation, understandably horrified at the corpses of the two presidential candidates and the destruction they’ve wrought.
Captain America: What the FUCK, guys?!
The scene shifts to a peaceful tree, where a talking bald eagle perches on its nest, revealing the aftermath of Trump and Clinton's devastating battle.
Eagle: And that's how Captain America became President of the United States... forever. (caws)
The eagle caws as it flies away.

Easter Eggs
