This news of Trump freaking out about losing to Joe Biden reminds me of that scene in Der Untergang.

You know the scene, featured in most of the "Hitler is informed that..." YouTube videos with rewritten subtitles.

If you've seen Der Untergang with its original subtitles (or you understand German) then you know that in that scene Hitler was informed by his subordinates that he was losing the war, upon which he responded by throwing a temper tantrum, screaming, yelling, and blaming everyone but himself.

When you watch that it's impossible to resist picturing Trump in place of Hitler, acting essentially the same way.
