Might have been more effective with True Grit or Dirty Harry. Regardless, I assume this is to prep us for the insanity that will be this year's July 4th.

He thought it would make him look good.

It just made him look like a fool.

Did you tweet that in response? Can I tweet that image?

Trump thinks the film 'Independence Day' was actually a documentary.

If they ever return, Trump is ready for the Bad Guys with Space Force!

But Trump was never asked to play the role of Pres in the film, that's annoyed him, and he is just setting the record straight. Rewriting history, if you will.

What do you call it when an important person, who is also arrogant, blustering and not very intelligent, loses touch with reality, when reality and fantasy merge together, and the past becomes something that can be edited and revised?

Armageddon? Please tighten your seat belts! Shit is getting real! The longest, most drawn out train wreck in living memory is currently in progress.

I fucking DOUBT it. Funny too....Bill Pullman was afraid that "speech" would kill his career because he thought it was kind of rah-rah childish shit.

Pullman's a good actor, too bad some idiot decided to graffiti his work like that. Talk about classless... it's probably connected to Jr. somehow.

Look at all the musicians who've had to send T cease-and-decists not to use their songs at his rallies and campaign events.

The MAGA would be the ones partying on top of the skyscrapers welcoming the aliens while they would denounce the ones who are trying to run away from them.

me. I love the movie characters, the plot line, the whole thing.

Our cowardly and gutless 'bone spurs' president is desperately trying to showcase himself in a badly faked video, because he can't get voters to love him any other way.

What a loser.
