Would Dennis Hopper have made the perfect Trump...?

[First Speaker]

...I can just imagine the final scene of the movie...Trump loses by a landslide in November, 2020. In his rage and despair, he finally decides to go all Just Fuck It, and pushes the Button. Close-up to Hopper/Trump's face..."the whim of a madman. I like that! Bwahahaha…" Nuclear explosions on the screen. Fadeout. Sounds a little too realistic, doesn't it...?

1. William Shatner has the look to play him. nt

[LakeArenal]

2. Good thing he doesn't read DU. It might give him ideas.

[Moostache]

3. Far-fetched? or logical conclusion? You decide...

1) Trump has used US military troops against US citizens
2) Trump has incarcerated and separated immigrant families on the borders
3) Trump has pissed on EVERY long standing international alliance we have
4) Trump has allowed a pandemic to kill more than 115,000 Americans
5) Trump has allowed the economy to crater and 40,000,000 people to lose jobs in 3 months
6) Trump has attempted to strong arm an ally for campaign dirt
7) Trump has openly pondered the use of nuclear weapons since 2016

I see 3 potential paths from here out...

First path - Trump sees polls get continually worse until October, decides its in his best interests to secure a pardon before its too late and he resigns the office to Pence as an October-surprise to all (conditioned on a pardon being at-the-ready and signed as soon as he crosses the "t" in his signature...

Second path - Trump goes through to the election, loses so badly that he cannot plausibly stay in power without a civil war erupting, decides he is going out in a blaze of glory and launches nuclear weapons on Iran as a parting gift to the world.

Third path - Trump drops fucking dead of a heart attack tonight (or ANY TIME).

4. Recent DU post, that I couldn't find to quote to, said Cheney made point that

President pushing nuclear button was unstoppable. [The President's order would go direct to the missile launchers]

10. Well, the bright side is that

we won't have anything to worry about.

I hope space aliens are keeping track. It would be a shame if nobody in the universe learned anything.

5. This scene must have been inspired by Trump on a Saturday night

"Now it's dark! Mommy! Baby wants to f.... !"

[Ferrets are Cool]

6. I thought he did a fantastic job portraying tRump in Blue Velvet...

Frank Booth : Baby wants to fuck! Baby wants to fuck Blue Velvet!

Frank Booth : Don't be a good neighbor to her. I'll send you a love letter,

Frank Booth : [shouting] straight from my heart, fucker! You know what a love letter is? It's a bullet from a fucking gun, fucker! You receive a love letter from me, you're fucked forever! You understand, fuck? I'll send you straight to hell, fucker!

Frank Booth : Let's fuck! I'll fuck anything that moves!

Frank Booth : Hey, neighbor! You shit-for-brains, man! You forgot I have a police radio! One well-dressed fuckin' man knows where your fuckin' cute little butt's hidin'! Stupid fuck! Fuck with me, man! Here I come, ready or not! You fuck! I can hear your fuckin' radio, you stupid shit! You got about one fuckin' second to live, buddy! You're one sorry piece of shit, mister. Hey, pretty, pretty! What the fuck? Where are you? Where are you?


Yup, pretty good version of tRump.

7. Like Frank Booth from "Blue Velvet"?

Trump is so mentally disturbed, almost nothing would surprise me.

12. Or Deacon from Waterworld

8. I was thinking of

Gary Busey for the role.

[stuffmatters]

9. I was thinking Rip Taylor would have been excellent.

11. I don't know what roll you're thinking of
