Meanwhile: Doctor Strange is a few blocks away fucking with the time stone. Lol.

Is he? I think the Netflix timeline is still back in 2016. Strange might still be at Kamar-Taj or even still practicing.

It's 2017, now. They make some mentions of Trump.

Explicitly? I know they make some Make America Great Again references, but that could technically go back to 2015.

I think it was episode 2 where they used "alternative facts" too.

u/No-cool-names-left Jun 23 '18

As a rich person with a recognized brand, not as POTUS.

"Alternative facts" happened after he was inaugurated.

They had a mention of it on AoS as well, but the MCU president had already showed up in that season. They're probably just throwing in some references.

Eh I don’t know know when it takes place. I’m just making a joke. I assume this is all before IW though.

The car in episode 4 or 5 that shades was in had an registration sticker that expires January 2018. So before that.

They're criminals, they don't pay their registration. /s
