Donald Trump's Favorite Movie --- Sunset Boulevard

a New York magazine piece last week, Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi uncovered Trump's favorite movie—one that he says is "one of the greatest of all time" and, Nuzzi reports, watches "again and again and again.

one thing the former president loves to do is watch his favorite movie: Sunset Boulevard. The 1950 film, directed by Billy Wilder, is considered a classic of American cinema. That's partly because it's a trenchant cautionary tale about how Hollywood tends to chew players up and spit them out.

Nuzzi concludes her piece by asking: "Do you remember how Sunset Boulevard ends? Norma Desmond shoots and kills the writer, a fraudster who has fallen under the spell of her charisma, just as he summons the courage to walk away. Her sycophantic butler flips. There are no enablers left to protect her." "A final fantasy, a fake movie set, is staged in the mansion's entryway. The lights go on, and she is lured before the cameras, where the police are waiting to haul her away."
