NOTE: The Bee movie and avatar movie quotes are fake news... I grep searched the speech transcripts after someone here brought this to my attention. Looks like I'll be dual searching sources for now on
Trump: "But we are transferring power from Washington D.C. and giving it back to you⦠the people. For too long a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have born the cost."
And this is the villaine Bane from The Dark Knight Rises:
"We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you⦠the people. Gotham is yours. None shall interfere."

(115,674 posts)I didn't think even Trump would be that stupid. So last night I located the scripts for both movies on line, searched carefully and could not find either quote. Before passing this on I'd suggest doing likewise. We don't want to be guilty of the same sins as the Breitbart crowd.
