BIFF’S HILL VALLEY

Is it just me, or does Donald Trump’s view of the world in his speeches and in his ads look a lot like Hill Valley in Back to the Future II?  For those of you who don’t remember, this is the dark, vulgar, neon world owned and run by the not-too-bright jerk millionaire villain Biff Tannen, in which formerly nice neighborhoods are now rundown war zones, littered with trash and inhabited by violent gangs, gunfire, and fear. Trump’s descriptions and ads make America look a lot like this scary, depressing place, and his justification for voters is that they need him to restore law and order.  Cynical, manipulative, and untrue in every way.

As it turns out, my mind is not on another planet;there is actually a connection.  Recently,  the screenwriter of the movie, Bob Gale, admitted that he based this rich mogul Biff Tannen on......no joke.......Donald Trump.
