20, 30, or 40 years from now, no one will ever believe the movie [View all]

that was made about the 2016 US presidential election could ever have been based upon events that really happened....unless they were old enough to have lived through the nightmare themselves.

Decades from now, anyone watching such a movie will find it very hard to believe that someone as disgusting, corrupt, and insulting as Donald Trump could possibly have been elected president, let alone the nominee of any major party. Anyone watching the movie will not believe that someone could get elected president by insulting people like Trump did and by telling such blatant lies as he did hundreds and hundreds of times.

The younger viewers will sit back in the theaters and think it's all just a big Hollywood exaggeration because, in their minds, surely no one could ever be elected president if they acted like this character "Donald Trump," who is being accurately portrayed by a Hollywood actor in the movie.

Let's all just hope beyond hope that this same movie has a happy ending....as in....Trump ends up being tried and convicted of treason, the election results are overturned, and Trump spends the rest of his miserable days in a cold damp cell tweeting to birds that fly past his little window.
