The recent series of events in the political scene of the US might have inspired series creator Sam Esmail in making the plot of "Mr. Robot" season 3.
Esmail recently leaked a fake script from the upcoming season on his Twitter account, where lead character Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) directly showed his disappointment over Donald Trump's win at the 2016 US Presidential elections over Hillary Clinton.
While the series creator did not reveal if Trump's upset win and his upcoming leadership at the White House will be explored deeper when the series returns to USA Network in 2017, he continues to engage in several social media interactions to express his own discontentment in the recent elections.
One of Esmail's Twitter posts revealed his reaction towards a fan who revealed that "Mr. Robot" was the reason why he voted against Clinton. But according to Esmail, the fan might be misinformed, because he got the inspiration for the top 1 percent of the entitled 1 percent that Elliot described as the group of people who are secretly manipulating the world from Trump himself. The series creator also claimed that Trump is not the anti-establishment candidate that he projected to be.
Then you are grossly misinformed. I pictured Trump when I wrote Elliot's monologue on the 1%. A lot of Evil Corp was shot at Trump Tower. https://t.co/zdv35B0lip

"The one thing that we're going to see a lot more in season three is some of these storylines colliding. And what that collision is going to look like," the series creator said.
He also revealed that viewers will finally find out Leon's (Joey Badass) real intentions as a member of the Dark Army when the series returns for season 3.
USA Network is expected to reveal the release date of "Mr. Robot" season 3 sometime in 2017.
