In the movie Back to the future 1989, the antagonist of the main character Biff Tannen (Biff Tannen) is sent back in time to provide a wealth of himself in his youth.
Everything goes like clockwork, and the future is changing: now he is “one of the richest and influential people in the United States.” He owns a casino gives money to the Republican party and gradually captures in her power. Your city it turns into a place where lawlessness prevails. Dissidents destroyed, and residents are told to call him “the greatest living heroes of America.”

A patriot and a racist wrapped in the American flag. In the film Martin Scorsese (Martin Scorsese) 2002 bill “the Butcher” cutting is performed by David day-Lewis (Daniel Day-Lewis) with the handlebar mustache striking resemblance to trump. “I don’t see Americans, I see losers,” he says, referring to the Irish, invading, in his opinion, in the country, like the “hordes of aliens”.
“Butcher” bill is cruel and welcomes the cruelty of others. It’s time to think about how the President-elect stated that he would like to beat the speakers at the Convention of the Democratic party, “to have heads turned around the axis. So much that they never regained consciousness”. He also wondered what would happen to Hillary Clinton if she weren’t surrounded by armed bodyguards.
After the announcement of the results of presidential elections in the United States, Martin Scorsese himself has compared his character with the next us President.

The directorial debut of Orson Welles (Orson Welles) 1941 portrays Charles foster Kane, who “probably would be a good person if he weren’t so rich.”
Its similarity with trump’s amazing. Both have built their business Empire on parental money, everyone has a giant mansion in Florida, both twice divorced, and both eventually decide to go into politics, declaring himself “the voice of the people”. He and the other threatened political opponents with jail on charges of “corruption”. Tycoon from the movie even delivers a classic replica of trump’s reality show “the Apprentice” — “You’re fired!”.
It should be noted that trump in an interview in 2002, called the “Citizen Kane” as his favorite film and even tried to get into the character of the protagonist, saying that if he could give advice to this similar to the character, he called him “find another woman”.

Insane monologue about what life is “shit”, breaking all records for audience ratings, and the bill allowed to remain and conduct its broadcast in Prime time. During one of the outbursts of anger he said the words that later became a kind of motto of his supporters: “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to stand for this!”
Satirical film of 1976 were forced to recall elected President of the USA, suggesting reflections on the role of demagogues and the value of public debate.
